Why does everyone hate Microsoft for adding LLMs into Windows and spying on users, but not Apple?

MacOS Sequoia: 30+ INSANE CHANGES (Hands-On)

I've watched the keynote and read some stuff on the internet and I've found this video about a dude talking about the new update (I linked it here because if you didn't see the keynote, this is probably enough)

Is it just me, or... does no one address that Apple does a Microsoft move by basically scanning everything on every machine and feeding this into their LLM?

It’s not ChatGPT like, it is ChatGPT, specifically GPT-4o.

See press release and versioning at bottom of the page.

So, Apple is using the latest version of the best LLM out there and its opt-in. That’s a hugely different approach as you mentioned.

Siri can ask ChatGPT but only if you explicitly allow it. They specifically said ChatGPT is only used if you asked for something that needs world knowledge, and even then there is a prompt asking for permission to send data to ChatGPT every time. Apple even said in interviews that you can completely disable the ChatGPT integration if you want.
