Apple just announced that they’re going to integrate artificial intelligence into all of their core product lines. They’re calling it “Apple Intelligence” even though it is really just a rebranded version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT being layered over their operating systems.
It’s personal, powerful, and private—and it’s integrated into the apps you rely on every day.

We’re partnering with Apple to integrate ChatGPT into iOS, iPadOS, and macOS—coming later this year: https://t.co/HP77fVO6gA

There is nothing intelligent about this.
Who the hell even asked for this to begin with? These companies are dedicating all sorts of time, money and resources into developing things that nobody wants.
This is about as bad as the Microsoft Recall bullshit which just takes constant snapshots of everything you do on your computer.
Microsoft Recall = Apple Intelligence? 🤪😆 pic.twitter.com/A5hEon4CXS

To bring the Microsoft Copilot+ Recall feature dangers to life, here’s a 40 second video of Mental Outlaw hacking it.

Layering a third party AI product on top of the operating system means that Apple has no way of guaranteeing the security and privacy of the people who use their products. Granted, this was already questionable but this announcement just makes these things a given.
Hilariously, Apple has been claiming that all of your data will be private which is absurd when they’re literally relying on a third party product for all this AI shit.
So basically you've got no option but to use AI across Apple's hardware and software estate.
Secondly, with the OpenAI deal in place it doesn't matter about privacy or 'secure cloud servers' because it's all still built on the foundations of stolen data.
No amount of marketing… https://t.co/wsedeCjss4

Elon Musk has said that he would start banning Apple products at his companies if Apple goes forward with this.
If Apple integrates OpenAI at the OS level, then Apple devices will be banned at my companies. That is an unacceptable security violation.

It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy!
Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river.

Despite my many disagreements with Musk, he is 100 percent right on this issue.
All this crazy AI shit does not need to be integrated in with these operating systems. I just want a functional and secure operating system that is easy to use and let’s me do my work as easy as possible.
This announcement by Apple shows once again that this is a company in decline. I do not use Apple products and this just reinforces my decision not to use them.
