I'm hoping Apple is working on something that run locally or potentially in some privacy-focused cloud approach but honestly I can't see any way to feed data into an LLM that doesn't result in leaking a ton of data about you if someone peaked at the input/output.

The good news is I've been impressed with running various AI-type things (Stable Diffusion and llamda.cpp) locally on my M1 Max Macbook so if anyone can pull this off locally I think it's Apple.

I do agree Apple's hardware is still top-notch. Their home-made chips have been amazing to use and I have no worry they'll continue to push the envelope there. And even iOS I feel is a solid piece of evolving software (other than Siri). It's MacOS and their lack of focus on devs that worries me.

You and me both, System Settings alone is a disgrace that I'm embarrassed for them that they shipped and it's only one of many recent failures related to macOS.
