    Apple’s not about delivering insanely great products anymore. They are about profit above all, and it’s showing.

  • How to unplug from Apple Intelligence on iOS and macOS

    Thank you for this. I had already shut AI down, but it was good to go through the checklist to make sure it was really quite sincerely dead. 

    I look down the list:
    1. Summaries
    2. Writing Tools
    3. Visual Intelligence
    4. Image Playground (if you've installed it)
    5. Genmoji
    And there is absolutely nothing that I want anywhere near my Mac or devices. It’s not just that I don’t think I’ll use them. Rather I specifically and by name and function do NOT want them on my system.

    Looking at the chart I really don’t see data to support the conclusion. 2024 was the same as 2020. 21 and 22 were higher. 23 was a significatly low year so a bounce back from that is expected. These look more like normal year to year variations. 
    Yes, agreed, really bizarre. Absolutely NOTHING in the charts to support the headline or the article, but AppleInsider closes its eyes, makes believe and publishes it anyway. And note that while it makes references to this supposed "trend," it never cites the data to support it because there is no supporting data. Here's what we can conclude: the numbers will change somewhat, in either direction, from one December to the next. The End. 

    I’ve come to the conclusion that the general public really DGAF about AI and Apple, Google, MS, et.al. Are panicking because they threw billions away on something that people simply aren’t going to use and won’t drive sales. Hence we see stories like this trying to keep the hype going in the hope to build up interest.

    So the Apple enshittification continues. Soon the whole Apple Privacy schtick will become as ridiculous as Google's 'Don't be Evil' lie.
    When Apple partnered with OpenAI/.ChatGPT, that was when I started questioning whether I should trust Apple any more.
