TL;DW: Apple Intelligence is Apple training their models locally on your personal Apple product data (aka anything you do on an iPhone, Mac, iPad or your Apple ID) using their Apple Silicon chips as well as building a Apple Siri voice assistant client for OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The features seem gatekept to newer Apple products and they claim it’s opt-in.
It looks like “AI” is here to stay as capitalists have placed it in most supply chains and industries. Goes without saying, but don’t buy Apple, you’re just buying yourself a one-way trip to a digital jail where the walls are made out of “seamless apple ecosystem” and “shiny metal devices that are cold to the touch.”
Especially don’t buy anything from the Apple Store because that’s trashy Global North treat brain behavior.
Yeah I didn’t mean to suggest that Apple is a force for good even in any convoluted way. Just that the computing capbility of the new hardware is improved while other tech companies are doing the equivalent of eating glue.
