Can't imagine how this could be perceived as anything but retaliation for the EU daring to attempt to regulate Apple

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 ....
Apple's may start being salty and blame everything on anti-trust from now on.
Why were your beans cold this morning? EU's DMA.
Why did you get delayed to your event? EU's DMA.
Why did it rain on the one day you were planning to take a trip? EU's DMA, of course.
sounds like EU really dodged that bullet. Good on them.
Who cares.
If Apple don't want to compete fair in the market, then others will.
And no iPhone user will miss an AI feature. Most of them don't even understand how to use 80% of the phones features anyway.
then others will
Unfortunately, I don't think the others want to compete fair either. It's a big race to shove garbage to consumers.
I cant wait for all the small smartphone manufacturers and os developers to come up with their solutions.
By the way, how is apple intelligence different from potato intelligence?
Apple is stepping on its own tail. The correct way to implement such features is to provide API to integrate any AI with their device, not only ChatGPT. And as an example, they should provide their own completely optional app for this, which could be downloaded from the App Store. This app should not be part of iOS at all. So EU regulators cannot do anything with it or it will be harder for them to figure out ways to restrict it. And users will worry less about privacy.
It probably doesn't need to be an optional app if they're giving you the ability to use any model you want at the OS level integration.
When you're using the device for the first time show a screen and let them choose AI / provide their own local model.
I wonder how listing things alphabetical would go given apple would keep them near the top.
Im in the eu and Im fucking devastated.
Why. This is good
I think they are being sarcastic without putting /s
This. I never realize how autistic people on the internet are
