I think the headlines are REALLY muddying things. From watching the Keynote, most of Apple Intelligence is their own stuff, mostly on-device.

Siri explicitly asks you if you want to use chatGPT to answer a query. It does so when it thinks chatGPT will have a better answer. It sounds like that will be for very creative/generative types of things like "please create a 4 course meal with xyz foods," at which point Siri asks you if you want to use chatGPT. It will be very clear, according to Apple.

That said, the Apple Intelligence vs. OpenAI distinction seems much clearer than the Apple cloud vs. local distinction, which I find somewhat concerning.

Sure, the Apple cloud is ultra-secure and private and all, but I'd still like to know what happens where without having to test it myself by enabling airplane mode and seeing what still works.

Yeah, that's a great point. At the same time, it only takes a couple YouTubers/researchers to do some testing for us to know the answer
