Any data sent to 3rd party AI models requests your consent first.
The details will need to emerge on how they live up to this vision, but I think it's the best AI privacy model so far. I only wish they'd go further and release the Apple Intelligence models as open source.
- the cpu arch of the servers
- mentioning that you have to trust vendors not to keep your data, then announcing a cloud architecture where you have to trust them not to keep your data
- pushing the verifiability of the phone image, when all we ever cared about was what they sent to servers
- only "relevant" data is sent, which over time is everything, and since they never give anyone fine-grained control over anything, the llm will quietly determine what's relevant
- the mention that the data is encrypted, which of course it isn't, since they couldn't inference. They mean in flight, which hopefully _everything_ is, so it's irrelevant
They talk about "independent experts" a bit, which I remember being hindered (and sued?) by them rather than supported.
I do agree that the extra tap is a bummer for anyone that wanted ChatGPT baked into the OS, even easier to access than it is in the ChatGPT app.
I am not entirely sure I will ever actually allow it to connect to ChatGPT for privacy reasons, but having the option when it can't be handled another way is nice.
I imagine this is more a stopgap until more and more of this can happen locally anyways. Especially since it sounds like Siri determins when it should reach out.
Oh boy. Someone is going to make a lot of money in court finding people who did this.
If you’re somewhere where contracts have meaning, it’s a true statement.
Looking forward to my house gaining a few IQ points.
I don’t see anything that mentions HomePod specifically but hopefully the updates will come.

No API keys, no prompt engineering or switching between AI models.
It. just. works.
