Ahh, lol, sorry for taking so long to understand ๐ guess many misunderstood apple, like I did, or not, at least I think I get it now.
So, the only difference between copilot and apple is that appleAI has access to the API where app developers decide what is seeable for the AI vs Access to everything one has seen on the screen except DRM stuff
At apple, as attacker, you would need to get access to that API and you can get all data and at copilot you need access to the Photos
So the difference why anybody prefer Apples solution, is because their LLM gets butter clean data which is perfectly structured by devs vs at windows, where the LLM has to work with pretty much chaos data
Where exactly is Apples solution spyware? It is only a process that runs while interacting and processing data. Or is it enough to be proprietary and have access to this data, well then, spotlight is spyware.
It's spyware in that both applications are a centralized searchable repository that knows exactly what you did, when and how. And no, the supposed ability to limit specific applications is not a difference, MS also said you can block specific apps and devs can block specific screens within an app. They're both the same on that front, presumably.
What I'm saying is the reason people are reacting differently is down to branding and UX.
