Obviously I have no idea what your opinion is beyond this comment. But from my own view of lemmy it's so funny to open the thread about windows and people are like:
"I don't care if I can disable it. There's absolutely no reason an operating system should collect that data, except for their own toxic capitalist greed. I want a tool to rip every line of this code out, or I'm installing Arch and never looking back."
To the thread on Apple doing it:
"Apple setting a better example is a good thing to see." 😂
No, I purely meant Apple making AI an opt-in feature is setting is an appropriate choice. Users should and have full control over their data and how a company can or cannot access it. My opinion on AI (LLMs in disguise) is that it’s very much a project which is not ready for general use beyond Autocorrection and Grammar checking.
I am no Apple Fanboy, but a decision like this in regards to Apple Intelligence being opt-in is a better move than what Microsoft and Google have done. I sure as shit will be keeping an eye on Apple as I don’t trust them enough to give them the keys to my data readily. They were a better option at the moment until Linux Phones are amazing enough to abandon iOS.
