    Ben Thompson has been saying that they need to collect user data (like google) for a decade.

    It seems the botched Apple Intelligence release changed some minds, a little bit.

      That still doesn’t give them the right to mine the data that their users entrusted to them though a paid service.

      It doesn’t matter how anonymised their harvesting is, they had an agreement with their subscribers not to invade their privacy like this.

      We are better off with a LLM that doesn’t work than abusing the data entrusted to them by their users.

      It won’t be long until the LLM bubble bursts and we all laugh about how stupid we were to think they had any use whatsoever.

          Is this the same “Opt-In” as keeping Apple Intelligence disabled between software updates?

          Apple are haemorrhaging a lot of hard earned goodwill every time they try to move forward with their own AI.
