Oh boy, I'd like to see the Data Privacy Impact Analysis for this.
Every query prompted with a consent alert, and OpenAI isn’t allowed to rummage around through iOS, MacOS or iCloud. If the more private, but dumber, Apple model can’t do the job, you get this alert.
My guess is that, since the data collected is from GPT 4 queries, and requires expensive compute, the business move is actually around subscriptions. The data probably isn’t worth the expense query compute.
Apple announced that GPT Plus users would have more functionality, and if there is one thing Apple is exceedingly good at, it’s selling subscriptions to shit.
And yet if you look at the technical details, between Google, Apple n Microsoft. This does seem to be the lesser evil for privacy.
Of course if you have like a degoogled fairphone il bow down to you but if you also have a windows pc you’re screwed either way.
