#202Nice to finally see a follow on to the Assistant feature from the Newton MessagePad.
Re: Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
#203I remain skeptical until I see it in action. On the one hand, Apple has a good track record with privacy and keeping things on device. On the other, there was too much ambiguity around this announcement. What is the threshold for running something in the cloud? How is your personal model used across devices - does that mean it briefly moves to the cloud? How does its usage change across guest modes? Even the phrase "…
Same they say privacy so many times i got Facebook PTSD.
I mean theres a difference between these companies on their privacy stance historical and current.

For those curious, there is in fact a ChatGPT integration. The way it works is that when the on-device model decides "this could better be answered by chatgpt" then it will ask you if it should use that. They described it in a way which seems to indicate that it will be pluggable for other models too over time. Notably, ChatGPT 4o will be available for free without creating an OpenAI account.
I don't think that 4o will actually be available for free. It seemed like they were quite careful in choosing their words. My guess is 3.5 is free without an account, and accessing 4o requires linking your OpenAI account.
They only mentioned 4o, but they mentioned it explicitly at the start, well before they mentioned one can also tie in to their openAI account, if you have one, at the end of the presentation.
To me that implies 4o by default, but I guess we'll find out.

#205It seems that the Apple intelligence stuff will be 15 Pro. Man, I just bought a 15 ~8 months ago. That really sucks.

Re: Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
#206They did a lot of work for this release, and the number of integrations is beyond what I expected. In a few years time you might not need to hold your phone at all and just get everything done with voice - kind of cool, actually. Auto transcripts for calls (with permission) is another feature I really liked. I was a little surprised to see/hear no mention of inaccuracies, but for ChatGPT they did show the "Check for…
That sounds like what Humane is trying to do. But I would honestly hate to do everything by voice and have everyone around me know what I’m doing and hear everyone around me talk to their phones all the time. Sounds like a nightmare

I mean how they'll monetise it?
% share with OpenAI? Plus I’d now consider buying the new iPhone and wasn’t planning on a specific update from a 13 given the hardware is still fine
In fact, not being able to do some of these things might improve privacy.
Re: Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
#208Have to say, I was thoroughly impressed by what Apple showed today with all this Personal AI stuff. And it proves that the real power of consumer AI will be in the hands of the platform owners where you have most of your digital life in already (Apple or Google for messaging, mail, photos, apps; Microsoft for work and/or life). The way Siri can now perform actions based on context from emails and messages like settin…

Yup! The hardest part of operationalizing GenAI has been, for me, dragging the "ring" of my context under the light cast by "streetlamp" of the model. Just writing this analogy out makes me think I might be putting the cart before the horse.
Re: Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
#209Regarding OpenAI, has Apple in its history ever relied so heavily on a 3rd party for software features? (TSMC for hardware, but it seems very un-Apple to be so dependent upon someone else for software capabilities like OpenAI)
I wondered the same, but frankly, what other options are there?

Seems like the OpenAI integration is a nice-to-have, but mostly separate from Super-Siri?
