Apple software update "bug" enables Apple Intelligence

I know everyone knows the claim that it's a bug is bullshit, but here's a personal anecdote to further demonstrate it:

I have two identical MacBooks: one for work, one is personal. My personal MacBook has my EU Apple account signed in. The other has a US Apple account.

I updated to macOS 15.3 at the same time. Guess what? The one with the US account had Apple "Intelligence" surreptitiously enabled. The one with the EU account didn't.

Doesn't sound like a bug to me 🙄 Sounds like they're enabling their bullshit where they can get away with it, and they don't want to risk it with people protected by EU regulations.

Schrödingers mistake: I intentionally did it unless you hate it, then it was a mistake.

Yeah fuckers… I turned that shit off right away again

"Oops, you have mistaken been upgraded to our advanced surveillance program. If you would rather like simple surveillance, please untick the box"

OH NO I ENABLED INTELLIGENCE, UNENABLE IT POSTHASTE! ....lest?

Happy to have a unsupported model that i will not change

I just wish more choice was available for cellphone because i had android for years before and fuck them too
