Multiple reports that Apple employees do not have confidence that their AI/ML teams will be able to build competitive AI products.
Given how bad Siri and autocorrect have been for years, I think these fears are justified.
I’ve joked that Apple should delete the Siri code and replace it with a ChatGPT wrapper. While in jest, there’s a kernel of truth there. If Microsoft can swallow its pride and partner with OpenAI, it’s foolhardy for Apple to go it alone.
@carnage4life just like when MS bit the bullet with (original) Edge and just embraced Chromium. Sometimes you just have to stop pissing against the wind.
As it stands, Apple is the only big tech company not mining my data hither, thither, and yon to feed the gaping maw of model training.
I don’t care if Apple is avoiding doing so for stupid reasons, I just care that they’re doing it. Whether their commitment to my privacy is real, or just a marketing distinction, or borne out of unwillingness to humble themselves to OpenAi or Google, I don’t care! I just want them to stick with it, and I can put up with inferior AI as a result.
