We have been able to choose our default app for 'assistant' on Android for a decade. It's fine. You can even revoke permissions if you want to.

And guess what ? Because you're allowed to choose something else than Siri, it doesn't mean you have to. You can still use Siri if you think it's better for your privacy.

What level of system access do they have? You can use 3rd party AI apps on iOS, they just can’t read app data or make actions on the system outside of the APIs that currently exist.

The new Siri has much deeper access to personal data and absolutely can not be trusted being siphoned off to a 3rd party server.
