Not to mention that "and partners" is pretty loose. Who's a partner? Google? OpenAI? Apple have partnerships with those companies. Or maybe just anyone willing to stump the money to advertise.
I'd be interested to find out if "Partnership" is something official, which would have to be declared, or just whoever Apple is working with this week. All in all it's not intrusive to me yet. If Apple can stop 95% of spam I'll take the rest.
