Ok… this is what it is I suppose, every business wants to be on the AI train, but, this seems like an opportunity to make the next iPhone, or at least a version of it, without AI as a selling point.
I’d be very happy indeed to have an option that was entirely devoid of, and incompatible with, any form of AI and I know I’m not alone in that. Sell it as prioritizing privacy or respecting consumers desire to opt out, whatever the marketing folks come up with. But that would be my next phone in a heartbeat.
I can run an LLM on a phone from before the AI craze, it would be slow but it would still run. You can't really make a phone that isn't compatible with AI.
No, I suppose not, but just like home brew software apple can put up walls.
I guess I just mean it would be nice to be able to opt out. If I want to run an AI app, I can always set up a docker or something and run it for myself. I think at this point, I’ve just got AI fatigue ¯_(ツ)_/¯
That is not going to happen.
Def not, but I’ll keep day dreaming :)
