I just saw Apple’s latest iOS settings hoover up personal data by including an automatically activated “learn from this app” under Apple Intelligence & Siri in settings. This includes banking apps.

🤮
I. Hate. AI.
It’s definitely helping destroy environment & privacy
Shame on @appleenthusiast

I think this setting has been around for a while. I believe it mostly learns from your usage of a given app so it knows when and where to suggest it. It’s not consuming any of your data within the app.
- @RunningInRVA thank you for clarifying about this function 🙏
  
  This is a claim iOS may make. However, iOS fails to include a libre software license text file, like GPL. 🚩 So, we do not control it. This failure bans anyone else from easily proving this claim, forcing them to derail with excuses like reverse engineering. 🚩🚩

It's on-device...

Yawn. Better get used to it because it’s not going anywhere unless you plan to go back to cave paintings and carving with rocks.
- Well there is something of a small movement to ditch smartphones for dumbphones, like people did in ancient times 20 years ago
  So you are unintentionally onto something
- As soon as Apple announced AI for iOS I sold my iPhone 15 and got a pixel and installed GrapheneOS on it and have no Apple or Google services installed all open source. And more importantly no AI.
  
  I tinker enough as it is. I just can’t, with my phone. Do all of your bank apps work? Netflix?
  Cause toggling off a button in the settings app on iOS is easier than my past experiences trying to use an OS like lineage or graphene.
