Why? Things are secure (outside of the explicit OpenAI calls via Siri) and mostly seem subtly integrated. You don't have to use each feature, but why blindly disable all AI having not even tried it?

Stuff that I don't use can get in the way.

Why take up processor time or memory for a feature I don't want? Or the increase in threat space?

  This could be said for literally every single feature of a smartphone, down to the out of order execution of the CPU

    That's exactly why I wait extra long to install updates.

    Yes. I would like to be able to disable other smartphone features I don't use. But that's already the case. Like the GPS, for instance, is disabled unless I'm using the map. And even that can be set to "never" if I want.

    I also have animations toned down from the accessibility settings, yes :)

Not wanting to send that much data to Apple's server no matter the pinky promise they make about caring for our data? That's a legit ask.

  Apple's? You mean OpenAI's...

I've tried a number of these things and I honestly don't see the value in them. I have to double check everything they do and it takes longer to describe what I want and double check everything then just to do it myself. I'll be disabling everything I can. I don't use Siri or anything of that sort as well.

"It will automatically find a picture of your drivers license, read the number and add it to your text" This is scary stuff that should not be happening on anything that is closed-source and unaudited publicly. The pervasiveness of surveillance it enables is astounding.

  How is it any more dangerous than having a picture of your ID on your phone? It uses a local model for finding and extracting data, and confirms before autofill. Should we start auditing wallets next? People's driver licenses are sitting insecure and unencrypted in their pockets! Anyone could grab it! Security is important, but being alarmist toward thoughtful progress hurts everyone.

  What's different about this from the current implementation of searching photos for 'driver's license' and it pulling up pictures of your license? iOS has already been using "AI" image recognition for years on your photos.

    Yes, this is an extension of that feature and a further integration with other enhancements. Apple has been doing “machine learning” for years for features like this. Now they are starting to bring those features together using other models like LLMs.
