Apple's iOS 18 AI will be on-device preserving privacy, and not server-side
It's much the same way the most recent Pixel phones do it. Most of the (Generative) AI functions happen on device, a privacy-friendly approach. Computationally intensive features and web search are processed "in the cloud" for obvious reasons. I think Apple will be following the same path, but be better at marketing the privacy of the on-device portions of the system than Google is.avon b7 said:Sounds like a more marketing focused play to push the privacy and latency angles. Assuming the rumour is true.
That's certainly one way to do it but isn't without its own issues. Limited scope and how many older iPhones can make decent use of it for example.
We'll have to wait and see how they announce it because other options from multiple vendors will remain open to iOS users anyway (perhaps some will be monetised through usage or subscription options).
There will also need to be a range of models to play off.
NLU, NLG are obviously two key areas. Image related AI will probably require an improvement too.
Hallucination is a property of AI models and won't go away in that sense. Hallucination is even desired in many scenarios.
The problem is that there are obviously scenarios where you would prefer not to have it. I believe that can be done quite well but normally requires the model to sit within another model etc, upping resource usage.

Underused VPN by Google One service is headed for the graveyard
They didn't and aren't dropping it. It will still be a first-party Pixel feature, but not part of Google One. Google cannot "track you" or "collect personal information" from you using it. But I also get that "I don't trust Google" thing some people have going on, which didn't help get users on board with it.macxpress said:
This exactly...chasm said:At this rate, they’re going to have to buy more virtual land to expand the Google Graveyard …But more seriously, who would use a VPN from a company whose entire business model is collecting information about everything you do? To say there’s a trust issue with Google VPN would be putting it mildly.t’s like if Meta/Facebook started a VPN, it would get laughed off the market … oh wait.
Yes this is just yet another service they came out with and dropped support for. One of very many. One of the reasons why I will never use anything Google because they can't keep shit around for longer than a year or two unless its Gmail, Chrome or their half-assed office suite. It's like they just throw shit at the wall to see if it sticks and nothing really ever sticks.

Google Photos doesn't sell your photos, videos, or personal information to anyone. Google also does not use your photos and videos for advertising/monetization. They are treated as private information.

Apple makes it really hard for users to completely stop it from collecting data
So in the opinion of commenters so far:
No one is the least bit concerned as long as their data isn't being used for ad targeting. Anything else is fair use?
