With the recent WWDC apple made some bold claims about privacy when it comes to so called Apple Intelligence. This makes me wonder if they did something to what Microsoft did with Recall feature, would people be less concerned and to an extend praise their effort?

Do you trust apple with their claims?

Based on their claims Siri also works primarily on-device. It wasn’t entirely clear if you can manually prevent the usage of their AI infrastructure, but they definitely implied it. So if that’s true, there’s no real reason to avoid just Siri while still using other AI stuff, cause they are one and the same. And since it runs locally, they can’t even store the voice clips.

I do also trust that Siri is all on-device! Otherwise it would work as well as its competitors hahaha. I just hate voice commands, and will never use them. I want to use my hands for operating devices.

I’m pretty sure it wasn’t on-device before. At least not all the time. But I have some good news for you, they added the ability to type your requests to Siri 😆
And to be fair, some certain things are definitely faster by voice than doing manually, like setting a timer and stuff. It’s just daunting when the assistant misunderstands you or takes ages to respond. If they fixed all that, it could actually be useful.
