Apple AI vs. Microsoft AI

Why are people happy or approving of AI on apple products, when it seems like the same thing was treated (rightly) horribly when Microsoft just did it.

Is Apple doing it better in some way? Both said it'll be local only, but then Apple is doing some cloud processing now. Do people really just trust Apple more???

It's about precieved reputation. I have to admit Apple is really good at software and integration with a somewhat balanced approach, although I will rate their business practices a negative score.

I dont trust either in regards to my data - the same goes for Google and Meta for that matter 🙂

But in regards to what I saw in the WWDC video vs M365 Copilot, I have to say I'm looking forward to see what Apple brings in regards to functionality. To be specific it is the actions part I'm looking forward to see.

We have been POC'ing M365 Copilot at work and I have to say that for something they charge 30 dollars a month (with no ability to do actions) the feeling is: meeeh...

Apple talks big about privacy but we only have their word for it, and they’re a corporation just as likely to lie and muddle things to fool their customers. That’s my main problem concerning Apple and privacy.

On paper their approach to ML is probably the best I’ve seen from any corp, and it’s probably the best I could’ve hoped to see since there’s no way they’d outright not go down that route.

They mentioned in their keynote they will have ways for third part companies to verify their claims of privacy. How this will look I am not sure, but it’s a good step.

I actually like Apple’s approach to AI more than all of the others. I don’t care for Microsoft’s implementation at all. I just try to avoid Microsoft in general on top of that, so no need to complain about it.

But I do think Apple’s approach to AI from a privacy and implementation perspective is what I would prefer from a software vendor.

I like how apple seems to understand where ai is useful and doesnt shove it everywhere, its also opt-in.

I dont like apple but their ai implementation is quite nice

Just the fact that it asks for permission before contacting ChatGPT is head and shoulders above every other company's implementation.

Unsure, but I think it’s because one of apple’s main talking points in recent years has been privacy (think the Apple logo with the lock). Whether it’s true or not, Apple has built trust with its users (misplaced or otherwise), whereas MS has lost a lot of that trust (especially with the recent Recall fiasco).

I think both companies are storing and using user data and telling you they aren’t, but I think it’s like what you said. People for whatever reason trust Apple more
