Obviously I'm sending it with other data. The point is that, as I mentioned in that same post, not all data is sensitive.
That is why it tells the other caller that you are recording it. The same way every time you call any customer service, you get the “this call is being recorded for quality and training purposes”. If you continue the phone call after being told they it will be recorded, that’s essentially consent.
Do you mind posting your non-sensitive data here, so we can learn more?
I’m right there with you. I haven’t used AI for anything yet. I’ll be 33 soon so I’m not too old and out of touch lol.
I do want to try it out at some point, but nothing I do daily would be made easier. I rather just do everything myself manually.
some of these things, like set alarm, are things Siri should have been able to do all along.
yeah i was pleasantly surprised when i asked ChatGPT to write me a shell script that would monitor an IP address and delete the ARP entry for it if contact was lost. for some reason a couple of my computers lose contact with my appleTV and deleting the ARP entry fixes the problem. anyway ChatGPT generated a perfectly functioning bash script, complete with a variable for the hostname and even included a sleep statement to keep the main loop from running too frequently. and it is fully commented!
it's a real time saver for sure.
Until it hallucinates and just confidently lies to you, when it doesn't work or can't figure out what to do with some of the information. Because of this, I can't imagine it saving that much time if you have to go in and double check if its actually giving you correct info.
I agree completely. I have struggled to find any aspect of my personal and professional life that I could reliable use AI to make my life more efficient. If often feels as though the goal is to replace actual humans with these AI models, in the pursuit of ruthless efficiency, even for those with good, desirable, and/or creative jobs, without asking whether or not they should.
My problem with current AI models is multifaceted:
- First and foremost, the quality of what they are actually able to create is questionable at best. Most artwork and video has the whiff of uncanny valley and is disturbing in a bad way, and even the sentence structure of simple replies can feel stilted and unnatural. They are nifty for toys and tech demoes, but that's about it.
- Lack of a clear, 'killer' app where the use case clearly benefits users. Changing tones and summaries are nice, but hardly worth the processing power and investment being put into these models. It would seem like there would be benefits in things like translating languages and scientific research, but not with the quality of the models we currently have.
- I prefer actual humans to write stories, create music, and generate art, and to be experts on how to do these things. While it is exciting for people who don't know how to create things to have a tool that will help them be creative, without the knowledge and skills on how to create, they will not have a framework for what they are doing is good. Its the difference between appreciating an art and actually having the knowledge on how to paint a painting or write a song.
- Creative people are having their life's work stolen from them by AI models, without any attribution or compensation. Its essentially a heist with the tech companies being the sole beneficiaries.
- What is to stop OpenAI, Apple, Meta, and Google, from defining what 'taste' is? If they take over the market of creativity, they will be able to control what types of things the AI Models will be able to create, and I trust none of these companies to do a good job with this.
- If most jobs are replaced by AI models, who is going to be left with an actual job where they can contribute to the economy? I've seen some bring up the idea of Universal Basic Income in this case, but having that be adopted and not have any humans go through a rough time on the way there seems naive.
- I could see a big corporation eventually getting around the legal issue of 'stealing' work without attribution by creating their own models with their own images that they own the copyrights to. However, the time and investment needed to be spent on building this model to be something useful seems like you wouldn't end up in a net positive, compared to just giving money to actual humans to do those same jobs.
I would get in touch i.e. communicate with the branch managers and ask them to email clean data in the first place. I would not trust AI to actually reduce the error rate in dirty data to 0. You can talk to the managers, you cannot talk to an algorithm.
And we all know how many people have had problems with Siri not getting commands right sometime. This is the first step in a more robust Siri that does a better job of interpreting your requests and executing them more reliably.
Rubbish, you’re making excuses for the purpose of avoiding change. Only dead fish go with the flow.
How long had mankind lived on this planet before computers were invented? We got along just fine without AI, and we will continue to get along fine when AI is seen for the garbage that it is.
Unfortunately, HR doesn’t consider computer skills as a requirement for their positions. I don’t have the time, patience, or compensation to teach adults how to use a computer.
The algorithm works for what I need it to do. You're welcome to not trust it, just like how I don't trust escalators.
Rubbish? I am simply pointing out that your complaint about people "throwing away their own intelligence to adopt AI" is similar to what people were saying about the use of PCs and calculators back in the 1970s and 80s. My opinion is that those who felt that way decades ago were wrong and people like you who are saying similar things about AI today are wrong.
"AI" is not "garbage" and is going to help make notable improvements in many industries including business, healthcare, education, and more.
Not interested in AI for the writing tools pure laziness. For myself the improvements to Siri and image playground will prove useful and fun.
Hopefully iOS19 will further build on Siri and other new features when I upgrade my handset hopefully next year.

The thing is though, they were kinda right. Reliance on technology HAS eroded skills, but it's a pattern that been happening since the Industrial Revolution. Skills, and the valuing of them isn't consistent over time.
I have a strong dislike of LLMs, but I've realised that they're the next step in the IT hype cycle, and once the bubble has burst, they'll be with us permanently as a set of tools with specific uses. As such I need to start learning about them so I won't be caught out when I'm required to use them, or teach children about safety around them. It's not enough to be a luddite, and issue a blanket ban on tech, like some of my family have.
Some of the tools in Apple Intelligence look like they might be useful. I might actually use Siri when I can type to it, and not feel like a goober, talking to my phone, and better proofreading tools will come in handy from time to time.
Leave to where though? They are all doing it now. Unless you want to go back to the old feature phones? It would certainly be cheaper!
Don’t push me I’m crazy I’ll do it lol
yeah who knows. I’ll probably do nothing but I’m just not interested in anything AI ever. Im sure there’ll be a way to disable or not use it….. for now
Oh, I get it. I'm on record here complaining about AI (LLMs) too. I've just resigned myself to learning to deal with them, even though I don't like them, and have philosophical reservations, soon we're not really going to have a choice, and I don't want to go luddite.
have tried using Google to search for "type to siri"? I just did and it appears you could type to siri since iOS 11.
I haven't wanted to use Siri enough to bother trying. I haven't wanted to use Siri since it was introduced and we were all asking it funny questions to try to get funny answers.
100% agree, this is what it comes down to. I have this fear that tech goes too far and I go full Gen X “I only own a printer”. I have made peace with tech and the tracking, and control what I can, but AI is something I’m utterly not interested in in the least. It creeps me out to be honest. I can also just never upgrade my phone and leave the settings app with the notification bubble indefinitely
