    I see the dangers of AI and agree that many companies don’t value our privacy and do what’s best for them and not us, but…

    …this is an emotional dogmatic post. „All of this garbage“ clearly shows that the author is stuck in the past. The banners on the website confirm this. It’s the figurative fanatic complaining about those black steam devils and their tracks that nobody needs and that destroy nature. Yeah, steam trains were noisy and created smoke, but the age of horses was over. No emotional outburst would have stopped that, and won’t stop AI now.

    The unconditional and emotional rejection of AI undermines the actual valid point he is trying to make.

      He's not talking about AI in general. He's talking about a device he owns.

        Agree. Anyone should be allowed to disable generative AI features on their device, especially a general computing device such as Mac. It's not some hysterical outburst about the industry to be upset when you can't do that, especially when the option used to exist but was removed.
