Cheaped out, not rushed.
Yup. Cook cant widely tout new ‘Apple ‘Intelligence’ because they were so stupid and greedy in limiting base and non-pro models (the vast majority of their customer base) against anticipated core functionality less than one year out. The competition will see additional opportunity to continue whittling away at iPhone sales. You may likely be an exception finding the reason to pay a $600 Apple tax vs many who will use it as a deciding reason to switch to android.
My question, tho, is those of us who pay for GPTPlus, will have our data and credentials obscured as well? Or that’s just for free users?
I totally agree. I am a win/android convert to Apple from 2012 and Apple software was never as bad as it is now.
From here we are going to full rebirth like a phoenix or total downhill. Anyways, their protocols of testing buggy software before releasing leaves lots to be desired.
What a total letdown this whole keynote. Everything shown competitors have already already showed or implemented. Nothing really interesting came up. A big “ME TOO” keynote. No overhaul of their apps or smart new features. Some lipstick, that’s it. No much requested update to iPadOS. 🥱🥱🥱
I really hope there is an option to change that setting. I don't want Siri constantly asking me for permission, like that copy-and-paste issue between two apps.
iPhone mirroring is really a cool feature other than that it's an uninteresting wwdc and the AI stuff is truly underwhelming. AAPL stock fell close to 2% since the start of the keynote.
Unfortunately, it is the disappointment I expected. 
Asking for permission for sharing your screen, images, pdf data and sending it to ChatGPT is not privacy preserving.
It is not a solution, it is just offloading the decision to the user, but it absolutely does not fit into a privacy first approached OS.

"Siri will leverage GPT-4o for free, with no need to create an account."
part of the benefit of a chatgpt account is the chat history function. While Siri getting chatgpt/ai is good, I feel like there should be an *option* to save the history in the background to chatgpt or your apple account or something so if you want to revisit your conversations you can

Disgraceful of Apple to support this unethical company. Truly a sad day
How does this screen pop up? Is it based on the type of question you ask Siri? If you tap what happens? Does the task not complete?
Pretty funny to keep popping that message to use something smarter than apple intelligence
Probably a branding requirement to distinguish "classic Siri" vs. "ChatGPT-enabled Siri™"
Just like how we have to set cookie decisions on each website individually. And once you need to clear your browser cache, you start all over again...Unfortunately, it is the disappointment I expected.

ChatGPT standalone only recently became a conversation tool. It was meant to be a prompt and response generative AI, such as for writing emails, creating fiction, etc. iOS-ChatGPT integration is more a productivity tool embedded throughout your system, and not a conversationalist.
This is the same approach Apple took with AppleCar/CarPlay. Instead of building a car (established market), Apple pivoted to focusing on the user interface/experience within a car and integrated with the car's features. Apple is not an AI developer, but it is a productivity tool/OS bundle, now integrating the user experience with AI capabilities.
No. This is a bad comparison.
If i say no to cookies, I am less tracked, even if I say yes, basically only a text string is stored in the browser.
With Siri being overwhelmed and therefore forwarding to OpenAI, (private) text, images or documents may be shared. This is more severe.

Yes, but you have to tell the website every time you have a first site visit. Instead of a browser-based "never allow and never ask" setting, which has become available through paid extensions.
