I agree. I mean I am biased as I’m a software dev, but at my company we use Windows so not too much terminal work, but I prefer it, particularly given that the web browser to find things is becoming more difficult with SEO shit.
Who wouldn’t want to type one line to install something vs clicking loads of buttons and downloading a file, then opening the file, then following all the prompts etc.
Even more so if you’re installing Linux then surely you’re more on the tech savvy side or at least e have a desire to be.
Well, most of the requests are handled on device with their own models. If it’s going to ChatGPT for something it will ask for permission and then use ChatGPT.
I feel I was pretty explicit in explaining how some requests will go to ChatGPT.
I don’t want my comments here to be received as shilling Apple, more that I want them to based on actual information that is provided and not opinion pieces.
The fact is, if they were to caught saving data then Apple would just end the contract. Is it worth it for them to lose out on that cash, for the sake of using it. When they can just use all the other sources where they are allowed to do that.
Anyway, I don’t care what anonymised data they may or may not save. It won’t be tied to me.
Edit: Do you have some information on this existing lawsuits and the contracts they broke?
Do you think that if you enter into a contract with a company like Apple they’ll just be like, aww shit they weren’t supposed to do that. Anyway let’s carry on.
No. This would open OpenAi up to potential lawsuits.
Even if they did save stuff. It gets anonymised by Apple before even being sent to ChatGPT servers.
Is this conjecture or can you provide some further reading, in the interest of not spreading misinformation.
Edit: I decided to read the info from Apple.
With Private Cloud Compute, Apple sets a new standard for privacy in AI, with the ability to flex and scale computational capacity between on-device processing, and larger, server-based models that run on dedicated Apple silicon servers. When requests are routed to Private Cloud Compute, data is not stored or made accessible to Apple and is only used to fulfill the user’s requests, and independent experts can verify this privacy.
Additionally, access to ChatGPT is integrated into Siri and systemwide Writing Tools across Apple’s platforms, allowing users to access its expertise — as well as its image- and document-understanding capabilities — without needing to jump between tools.
Say what you will about Apple, but privacy isn’t a concern for me. Perhaps, some independent experts will verify this in time.
