(…) Apple Intelligence was both the worst and best thing to happen to Apple as far as the AI bubble goes.

It was a mass-radicalization of its users against AI – an attempt to cram a barely-functional series of add-ons that nobody asked for in the most-obtrusive way possible, with summaries that were almost immediately turned into memes and a new Siri that was, somehow, even worse than the old Siri.

And I think that told Apple to pump the brakes. It's barely spent anything on capex. It's barely done anything with AI. Despite headline after headline claiming it's "falling behind," nobody can really explain what it is it's falling behind on or why it matters. People hate Apple Intelligence, and I think Apple knows that, and so they're going to jingle the keys for the markets by putting "AI" on stuff without ever really putting their back into it.

I get your concern and I feel the same way. However, you’ve used concerns as fact when even the link you’ve provided counteracts your argument.

Guess I’ll wait to see if Apple’s promises match their previous ones they fulfilled when they used ChatGPT for AI. I’ve still found no evidence to the contrary.

    I agree my initial comment was oversimplified, but what you say is not fact but only concern contradicts Apple's own statements about what data they share with 3rd parties under the Apple Intelligence product.

    If putting "OpenAI must process your information solely for the purpose of fulfilling your request and not store your information or any responses it provides unless required under applicable laws. OpenAI also must not use your information to improve or train its models." on their website is enough of a guarantee for you that OpenAI won't do what they please, then good luck.
