Said this in the other thread, but I am really bothered that image generation is a thing but also that it got as much attention as it did. I am worried about the reliability, if you are relying on it giving important information without checking the source (like a flight) than that could lead to some bad situations. That being said, the polish and actual usefulness of these features is really interesting. It may not…

I think it shows the context for the information it presents. Like the messages, events and other stuff. So you can quickly check if the answer is correct. So it's more about semantic search, but with a more flexible text describing the result.

Have 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…

What do you mean into hands of platform owners? The point of having an Apple device is that you can run stuff on your device. The user is in control, not any platforms.

Apple owns the software platform. Can I run my non-Apple Intelligence software on the data in "my" iPhone?

Wouldn't this reduce sales for Grammerly? If Apple packs the same feature for every application in iOS, it is kinda cool. Private Cloud - Isn't this what Amazon did with their tablet - Fire? What is the difference with Apple Private Cloud?

It jumped out to me that I had to highlight and ask it to check my grammar, rather than have it be an automatic process.

I don't use Grammarly, really, but I think at least that one is more automatic?

Apple owns the platform. The user owns the device that embodies the platform.

Regarding 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)

Maybe I missed something but it doesn't sound like OpenAI is powering any of this except the optional integrations.

I asked up thread and people apparently have concerns about the IP and think that AI images often lack taste.

it's fascinating to see this resurgence of people who now like copyright/IP law

I don't know why it's that fascinating. Lots of people think some amount of copyright is reasonable but that life of the author + 70 years is far too long.

Credit where credit is due for co-opting the components of the "AI" acronym.

Agreed. Got to hand it to them that marketing was sharp on the name. Unless, of course, it doesn’t really work as advertised and then every “AI ” search specifically bubbles Apple stories to the top.

Gotta say, from a branding point of view, it's completely perfect. Sometimes things as "small" as the letters in a companies name can have a huge impact decades down the road. AI == AI, and that's how Apple is going to play it. That bit at the end where it said "AI for the rest of us" is a great way to capture the moment, and probably suggests where Apple is going to go. imo, apple will gain expertise to serve a mons…

Yeah I feel like we are getting the crumbs for a future hardware announcement, like M4 ultra. They’ll announce it like “we are so happy to share our latest and greatest processor, a processor so powerful, we’ve been using it in our private AI cloud. We are pleased to announce the M4 Ultra”

I mean I can already search my photos for “dog” or “burger” or words in text on photos. Adding an LLM to chat about it is just a new interface is it not?

I think the important thing is that the semantic index tracks all you do through all your apps.

This looks cool for v1! The only problem I see is most devices don't have much RAM, so local models are small and most requests will go to the servers.

Apple could use it to sell more devices - every new generation can have more RAM = more privacy. People will have real reason to buy a new phone more often.
