Apple CEO Presses Software Chief to Pursue More Ambitious AI Strategy
“Apple’s new CEO is pressing software chief Craig Federighi to take a more ambitious approach to AI as the company looks to transform Siri into an autonomous agent that can get things done for users.”
Yuck. No surprise, I guess, but this is the last thing I wanted from Apple.
@scott I'm more or less with you on that one.
I'm on iOS 26, having upgraded to that because it seemed I needed to do that to get security updates. (That might have been a misunderstanding.) But since I'm on an iPhone SE which can't run Apple Intelligence, I'm covered there. I did have to make adjustments for the ugly Liquid Glass. I haven't upgraded to iOS 27.
On my Mac I'm on Sequoia, not macOS 27. I have my Siri language set to Malay, because Apple Intelligence isn't available when Siri is set to Malay. And since I never use Siri on my Mac, it doesn't matter what language it is.
@jeridansky hahahaha brilliant workaround!
I just have Siri “off”, I think? I don’t think I knew you could use Siri on Mac.
I have my Siri voice set to Australian, which sounds neat but I can’t vouch for its intelligence. 😅
@scott @jeridansky FWIW, iOS 27 gives much better control over "Liquid Glass" including making it de-facto opaque. It's fine.
And you can disable Siri and uninstall Apple Intelligence using RemoveMacAI which I have done: https://github.com/omlahore/RemoveMacAI
@jeridansky uggggghhh
I turn more and more into a refusenik every day
I still have not “upgraded” to liquid glass (whatever OS that was) and refuse to download the “Apple Intelligence”
