I expect cloud providers to fiddle with my data - because they can and do. I don't expect vendors, especially one touting themselves as being more privacy focused than everyone else, to be sifting through my data on device.
Yes, today it's a carefully designed algorithm designed to be one way. The algorithm isn't the problem. The problem is the method used to deliver this algorithm can also be used to deliver *other* algorithms. And no, especially since 9/11 I have zero faith that this is as far as this mechanism will ever be used.

It then does other things that are vaguely "content analysis" like generating link previews and marking up the text to make dates clickable. The iMessage feature is "it looks like someone has sent you a picture of their dick, are you sure you want to see that?" I know adults who'd like to turn that feature on. Could it hypothetically be extended in the future? Sure. But arguing against this feature as-is is about the same as arguing against the feature that lets you search for "dog" in your photos.
