An appeal to popularity is a logical fallacy.
If that is all it token then we could say the Chinese government was more trust worthy than the US government.
Android and googles services are popular because they are free/cheap and most people dont understand how much personal information they are giving away as part of that trade.
I will NEVER have Google, Facebook, Amazon etc hardware in my house, they have shown repeatedly they can NOT be trusted with it.
For some strange reason Millennials love Google, even prefer Google Apps over MS Office...
In the meantime, Google is making millions data-mining them. By the time they realized they have been abused this way, it will be too late.
To trust your privacy to a company that depends on personal information to make money, it's insane! Pure non-sense!
Much of their Gemini features remain server-side. How many people are going to have lengthy mundane planet killing conversations with Gemini Live?
Not very much impressed me in that presentation and I’m very much not enthusiastic that there’s next to zero mention of on device AI. They had brief tiny mention about two extremely specific use cases.

Apple is the company that called Gunmetal Gray "Space Gray" (it's "gray" in space? Really?) and turned all emoji firearms into water pistols.
Does anyone think Apple would associate itself with technology that can make literal fake and realistic content?
Apple could do what Google is doing--it chooses not to, for liability and/or cultural/poltical and marketing purposes.

Haha, let me read that again.
Yup. Still as funny.😂

"Don't Require 'Hand-off to AI Providers You May Not Know or Trust'", of course there is no require doing that, cuz they are the AI providers that no one trust
I will happily use Google AI features in their apps on my iPhone 15, after Apple decided to limit the RAM in an attempt to force upgrades. It's absolutely inexcusable that the 14P/15 don't come with enough memory to run their models. I haven't seen such user hostility in a long time and I am seriously considering jumping to Android for my next purchase after them pulling this BS.
Sometimes I just don't understand people like you are just being sarcastic or silly
I don’t hate the company or its products. I believe the greedy leadership is destroying the long term viability of AAPL by destroying goodwill with customers and only caring about the shareholders and the executive teams compensations.
There is no reason to trust anyone except maybe your family and friends. Corporations and the government are neither. 9/11 changed America, along with destroying corporate goodwill and ensuring only executive compensation and shareholders prevail at the cost of American workers.
Larry David’s experience with the forefather of Apple Intelligenc, Siri. NSFW (language):
That’s the state of computing. Apple knows more about users than they know about themselves also! It’s a fact! They can brag about privacy but it’s all marketing hype.
Of course they're not going to hand it off to another service, they are the one who's offering it. However, the data from the service they will be selling to third parties, which is what they do already with all their services. Interesting that the company who scans your emails wants to take a dig at Apple on something they've pioneered with Meta.
I needed a good laugh tonight 🤣
It's weird that part of me is happy Siri can be this dense to work with too 😂🤣😅
Good lord a company pointing out a strength is hardly a disparaging comment. A fuss over a trifle.
Guess Google and Apple need a new deal totgether because the search deal wont work anymore. So they will probally have a deal with AI in the future.
