Yup. It does this.
finally
That is tremendously cursed!
Jep, only in US English.
And only for the iPhone 15 pro and above
I have the 12 and it came with a revamp of the mail app.
I was greeted by the image playground icon on my home screen and the icon was… not great.
Things did not get any better as I tried making images in it.
I also find it a bit alarming that Apple links user content to you. Seems like they’re either tracking the pictures you upload and/or images created.
Apple Intelligence is training itself on the apps you allow by default. You can go to setings > siri > about siri, dictation & privacy, and switch that off if you wish. You’ll have to do it app by app, one by one.
Well, that’s annoying. I just turned them all off, but I hope all that data is stored and operated on locally.
Mostly yes. And if it does require server-side processing, the data gets deleted after. This stance is totally different from other AI providers who make no such promises about data retention and/or using your inputs to train future models
That setting has nothing to do with facial recognition. Here’s what it covers. https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/data/en/ask-siri-dictation/
It’s basically for allowing the voice assistant team to improve recognition by collecting references data, and for using usage behavior decide how to best sort search suggestions, when you like to use certain widget, and who should be prioritized in share sheet for certain apps at certain times. It’s pretty rudimentary.
God this is taking forever!
The image recognition has always been done with an on-device facial recognition model. Been this way since iOS 10, I think.
It’s just trying to find and group patterns of similar looking things, it’s not collecting and tracking you in the cloud.
There’s a new “default messaging app” selection, but I’m kind of wondering: What would changing that even do?
