Because privacy is actually a big feature, many people are skeptical about AI and the big model providers and don't trust them. They're less skeptical about on-device AI and so Apple is pushing that and making privacy a core feature of their online offering as well.
I probably wouldn't use it without that. It's one thing sending my shitty code to be trained on, and another thing entirely to give these companies access to my personal life and information.
- t0mas88 5mo agoThat still doesn't explain why my data can only be sent to Apple and not to another vendor of my choice.
- wmf 5mo agoBecause Apple has Private Cloud Compute tech that other vendors do not have.
- bigyabai 5mo agoEven if other vendors had Apple's hardware, it's doubtful that Apple would give competing services equal footing. See: The App Store. The hardware isn't a real justification, just a convenient fig leaf.
- spogbiper 5mo agoI have created a more private cloud compute that is superior to Apple's implementation. Why can't Apple users choose my better service?
- wmf 5mo agoThat would be a good argument to take to the EU.
- e28eta 5mo agoSounds like Apple offered to implement that, but it didn’t fit the EU’s requirements. I suspect if you paid apple enough money, and were willing to prove that your personal Private Cloud Compute did meet their requirements, it wouldn’t be impossible.
- lern_too_spel 5mo agoIf they let me use my own server, they won't even know my usage patterns, which is even better for privacy.
- nottorp 5mo agoOh by the way, who decides if the data stays on device or gets sent to Apple? I bet it's Apple and not the user.
