Apple thinks pushing OpenAI’s brand to hundreds of millions is worth more than money.

If Apple aren’t paying OpenAI and OpenAI aren’t playing Apple, it means that consumers are paying both.

Because the end user is the product.

Or, because Apple gets a free service that would cost an insane amount of money if they were to pay API fees or build their own data centers and models, and OpenAI gets free advertising by being included in millions of Apple devices. Seems pretty simple.

All true.

OpenAI gets free advertising by being included in millions of Apple devices.

Also true but woefully incomplete. They also get millions of Apple devices and users to train their models at no cost. When I say you are the product, I mean that Apple sold access to you and everything you do to OpenAI in exchange for OpenAI functionality at no extra charge. I have no doubt that Apple will make a best efforts to anonymize data, but OpenAI absolutely will have deep access.

Can we disable these options somehow?

Sure, buy an Android 🥹

Then you get Gemini instead. It is not required yet, but Google will bug you about it almost daily in multiple locations

Do you not degoogle your android?

Much easier said than done. I would personally like to, but I need a good replacement for Android Auto/Google Maps in my car. That is me personally, though. For a lot of not technically inclined people that is not possible.

Openstreetmaps data is very good, and several degoogled custom roms support android auto (/e/os comes to mind) and the paid version of osmand has android auto support, the free version of the (inferior)agic earth does too

I’ve used OSMand and wasn’t a fan, but good to know the paid version has Auto support.

You may want to try oit magic earth or organic maps, although i personally dont like them as much

Just like you could “delete” photos

It’s the cloud I’m worried about most, nothing happens locally on iPhone.

You have to specifically request that siri uses chat GPT for a request.

ChatGPT already has a free tier. It’s likely the same deal. Apple said you can link your ChatGPT account if you want access to premium features.
