That's because people don't trust AI that much... and most people don't differentiate between a really cool feature and AI so it's more confusing marketing than anything.
I think it's more because they're way behind on AI and they literally have nothing to actually tell us.

(Genuinely curious, perhaps there are third-party apps I can use to bridge the gap.)

#15I think this is the correct approach on a phone. I don't want AI front-and-center. I want it in the background quietly making everything better. To me, that's a much more useful form of AI.
And I want it turned the fuck off, quietly not doing anything with my personal shit. I want to reach for my tools when I want to use them.
They are all done locally on your device for the last decade, at least.

Of course this is going to be spun and turned into a negative, but I basically want ML to be invisible again. The benefits being clear, but the underlying tech no longer mattering.

#18They did talk about ML in their image processing software for their cameras, though. And I don’t think they mentioned AI when talking about their babelfish AirPods, but it’s clearly there, as well.

I'll argue that face recognition, event detection and share recommendations are nice features. They are all done locally on your device for the last decade, at least.
