Funny how companies believe they are punishing you by withholding AI crap nobody wants.

    Data privacy AND not having to deal with more bullshit AI? Oh my, how will we ever cope with this... /s

    wasn’t the main point of apples ai that it runs on device? asking explicitly every time it might need to send data anywhere else seems fine

    There's apparently different tiers, where some stuff is done locally but anything slightly complex would require it go to apple's servers.

    yeah, i remember watching the announcement live, they said that in some cases it would prompt the user, like this

    “anything slightly complex” is an overstatement though, it would ask for some specific LLM tasks, and the vast majority of what apple has built is not LLM or even generative. to me the most useful features are prioritising notifications for a semi-dnd mode and searching for objects in photos 🤷‍♀️

    Read over it again, and there's 3 tiers. Local, apple cloud, and then chatgpt. It won't prompt for Apple cloud requests.

    thanks, i looked into apples cloud, they have this article https://security.apple.com/blog/private-cloud-compute/

    it all seems okay from a technical perspective but you are right that it’s not good to have to trust apple here. i would love to see a setting to prompt the user for apples cloud, in the same way that it currently prompts for chatgpt.

    They did say that their servers dont store anything and they do some cloud "verification" before sending any data to it, but in my opiniom they should have a setting/prompt/indication for that apple cloud part too, especially as you might be on mobile.

    The include of chatgpt with the prompt is making it confusing and making the apple cloud less talked about ....
