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…

>I always saw this level of personal intelligence to come about at some point, but I didn’t expect Apple to hit it out of the park so strongly That's a little premature, let's try not to be so suckered by marketing.

It's the potential for the model. Everyone else is hoovering the internet to model everything and Apple is sticking with their privacy message and saying 'how can I model your stuff to help you.'

That's tangibly different.

Key question is, will there be a hard switch to only ever use on device processing?

If not, and if you don’t want practically every typed word to end up on someone else’s computer (as cloud is just that), you’ll have to drop ios.

As for me that leaves me with a choice between dumbphone or grapheneOS. I’m just thrilled with these choices. :/

I 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 "…

I mean they have great PR, but in terms of privacy, they extract more information from you than google does.

I find the removing people from photos thing creepy. Yes you can remove others to see only your family, but forging the reality to only conform to what you wish is disturbing I think.

Photos are already just one perspective on reality. Instagram has shown that to be painfully true. This is merely a continuation of that.

We all experience our own reality individually.

Happy as long as there is a switch to toggle it all off somewhere. I find very little of this useful. Maybe someone does, and that’s great! And my concern isn’t from a privacy perspective, just a “I want less things cluttering my screen” perspective. So far though it looks like it’s decent at being opt-in in nature. So that’s all good.

Strong agree here. Features are cool, but I value screen real estate and simplicity. Plus, the gpt app works fine for me. I don’t need it built into other things yet.

This seems really cool. They said the models can scale to "private cloud compute" based on Apple Silicon which will be ensured by your device to run "publicly verifiable software" in order to guarantee no misuse of your data. I wonder if their server-side code will be open-source? That'd be positively surprising. Curious to see how this evolves. Anyway, overall looks really really cool. If it works as marketed, then…

~It seems like it will require M1+ on Macs/iPads, or an iPhone 15 Pro.

They specifically stated it required iPhone 15 Pro or higher and anything with a m1 or higher.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

To me, everything about how it's been presented so far says the point of how it's set up is that they don't want to use backends. They want everything to happen on device. Even having ChatGPT for expanded queries is an unfortunate necessity driven by the hardware not being powerful enough yet. How much is run entirely on device so far is unclear, but the sessions later in the day should expand on that.

On device or in an Apple owned DC. It sounds like they have aspirations for their own Apple owned LLM. ChatGPT seems like it's there until they can get something good enough to generally replace it for cases where their in-house solution isn't capable enough yet. They likely continue to invest heavily on big capable LLMs as well as ones that are small enough to run on device (while working on the hardware side to ens…

So, the company that brought us Siri is going to build something better than ChatGPT... something that will run on-device no less. It's just not quite ready yet. Got it.

It’s not sending every word to the cloud. I think you must invoke the AI features. Am I wrong?
