If apple can figure out how to carve out a privacy/individual-focused ai model that avoids the classic centralized data-harvest/training they could runaway with a large portion of the market.

So many people understand the benefits ai can bring to our lives with automations, search, etc but so many are also aware of the dangers lurking beneath the surface and causes anti-ai sentiment (for good reason).

They can be mutually exclusive but aren't generally.

All anti-AI sentiment I've seen on the internet is based on fears it'll take their jobs and comes in the form of almost-entirely-fake concerns about it supposedly using up all our water. Most people don't care about privacy very much.
At some point it became normalised to post your face, real name and home address online multiple times a day.

Privacy, for most people, is already gone

Do you really think so?

There have been privacy focused alternatives to Gmail since Gmail was invented and it didn’t stop everyone from letting Google index every single thing they sent or received.

Time and time again we have seen privacy nightmare products and services run away with the market. I just don’t think that people vote with their wallets if they even care at all
