Microsoft, as bad a company as it may be, is overly maligned about everything due to its behavior 30 years ago. The response is nowhere near proportional, especially compared to the moderate responses to the much much much more evil companies apple and Google.
Comment on Your Phone Isn’t Eavesdropping on You to Show You Ads (It’s Worse Than That)
Thetimefarm@lemm.ee 1 week agoMy main point against the idea is that they wouldn’t need to hide the fact it was happening. If it were possible with current tech there would already be some AI subscription bullshit that listens and takes notes on everything you do all day.
Honestly most people I saw outside of the hardcore tech sphere were excited about apple intelligence until it became clear what a shit show it was. I don’t see how it was supposed to be any less invasive than windows recall but it got a completely different reaction. You just need a good advertising/propoganda department and people will pay you for the privilege of being spied on.

It is better than Recall along a few axes. It doesn’t send communications off device without specifically requesting it. It computes as required in isolated environments. And most importantly, the goal as far as we can tell is for information and toys, not for logging all the actions taken on your phone.
I’m not trying to be a fanboi here, but even if Apple Intelligence is bad… Recall is much much worse.
