Apple's First AI Features in iOS 18 Reportedly Won't Use Cloud Servers

Honestly I'm over the generative AI hype train.

I want my photos to actually capture reality. I have no interest in putting fake expressions on people's faces or moving them around in the image or adding or removing things from the image.

If I need AI to write my texts or emails I clearly have nothing to say.

Hey AI, Siri 1.2 remove redeye from my picture and crop.

Siri 1.2 AI: I found this on the web

it looks like the initial wave of features will work entirely on device

Some decent AI news for once.

As the world awaits Apple's big AI unveiling on June 10

We call it iAI.

Its become a huge issue... AI is more disruptive than you think

It affects everything... and all companies are diving head first into it because its become the next big thing

Already schools and universities are detecting its use in projects and other assignments... people are using it instead of doing real research (they rely on the AI to find things).

Images, videos and sound are being modified or just generated from scratch using AI

AI is helping people do their jobs, sometimes without the employers knowledge.

AI is helping people apply for jobs!



I think AI has a place... but companies and people really have to think about what they are doing... there is a huge ethical aspect they are just not looking at. As always, in moderation it's fine... but all I see is everyone eating as much AI cake as they can. Its everywhere... and I actually find it off-putting.

Apple used to avoid the term AI... but now seem happy to shout it out.

Looks like a rote repetition of the hype cycle around AI. But the reality is pretty removed from that. So-called generative AI is still relatively new and is already bumping up against copyright law. Meanwhile it’s in the process of eating itself as these models scrape AI content to train AI to make more AI content.

This idea that AI is going to “revolutionize everything” is completely misguided. Generative AI doesn’t create anything. It just cluges together pre-existing content and smears it into a generic mess that gets less and less accurate and relevant as the system eats itself.

AI exploits actual human creativity without compensating creators in order to output sub-par content. It is not sustainable. It’s basically NFT 2.0.

What do you use SIrI for if your have no internet? If you say find jpegs it's not going to do a spotlight search of your local storage. How many commands and interpretation could be stored locally? If you are fact-finding it usually goes to web services for results. Same for calculations.

I think it would have been cool if they intergated some “basic knowledge” into it, I mean some information that is stored on main storage and can be further downloaded with Internet. For example if I ask “Siri, who was the president of the US in 1994” I would get instant answer with basic biography even without Internet. Considering it is text information I don’t think it would require much storage.

It would have been ideal for students and teachers. I do understand they all have Internet now, but considering how our world is changing and that we are literally on the edge of WWIII, this would be very handy for everyone in every corner of the world. I think this is exactly what Apple is aiming for, maybe kinda of Intelligent offline Wikipedia
