    I don't understand why you would want to remove well-balanced and relatively small local-inference models that ship with every mac.

    Sure, not frontier levels but fine for basic tasks and they are off-the-cloud.

      I don’t know why pro AI people have such a hard time understanding consent.

        What is the consent line being drawn here? From handwriting recognition and mail filtering from back in 2002, face detection in iPhoto back in 2009, text to speech and Siri, dictation, NLP, text to speech, the vision framework, and Core ML are all examples of AI/ML tech that have shipped at some point standard on new Macs long before Golden Gate.
