I think everyone should return things when there is weird tos to use something. It costs the company as they’ll have to sell the product as ‘used’, and it informs them that people don’t actually agree, we are just coerced into it.

I got my mom an iPad, apparently AI is unavoidable in setup. To finish setup, you must agree to Apple AI.
There are all doing it together. I can’t keep track of who owns what, perhaps “they” are all actually owned by the same megacorp.

A coordinated effort to do that on a specific day could be interesting.

You can definitely turn Apple Intelligence off

Oh really? I have never had Apple Intelligence enabled on mine, it was always opt in I thought

It is. Original commenter is either dishonest or inept.

Please don’t lie, this is exactly what happened using the automatic setup. Let’s make a deal, if I bother to film it and post the video, you agree to immediately delete your account; if I am wrong, I agree to immediately delete my account. We will need mod enforcement, as I don’t trust you for obvious reasons.

Whoa, they are racing for pink slips. That’s how you know it’s GTA real.

You want me to buy and set up a new iPad to show you how to navigate instructions on a screen?
Thanks for the laugh.

Well Vanguard and Blackrock have a significant stake in all major companies even in Apple, together they own something like 17% of Apple and almost the same in Microsoft. Since they buy shares for their ETFs or mutual fund products. While they technically don’t own the shares but only manage the investments they do vote on behalf of their clients.

It is not unavoidable. You can say no and move on with your setup. There are reasons to hate corporations but this is not one.
Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 2 days ago
It is 100% unavoidable with the options provided. You can either click “activate AI” or “continue setup”, clicking the latter brings you to the “activate AI” prompt.
Please don’t make false claims to defend Apple, it’s silly.

This can be turned off after setup.
It’s stupid that this is the feature they decide to force considering using an Apple account during setup is still optional.

Thank you, I didn’t finish setup, I took a deep breath and turned the pad over and declared that I am done for the day. A man has to know his limitations.

Clever, so you have to agree to the terms either way.
Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
It’s not clear if skipping account setup also disables AI so I’m not sure if there is a Terms of Service that must be accepted.
Feels like something someone would at least attempt to sue Apple over for not disclosing upfront.

I am still punishing the iPad and have yet to flip it back over.
AI WILL LEARN SOME MANNERS UNDER THIS ROOF
and thank you, mom always said I was a clever boy!
