Apparently an unpopular opinion here but I highly appreciate the move by Apple to embrace local AI. Sure itโ€™s not perfect in any sense, but I like the direction.

I don't think that's unpopular at all. Local AI is the only AI future worth pursuing.

Same here. Local is not the problem. Control is.

Iโ€™m curious what this tool does that is different from turning off Apple Intelligence in the Settings because they already give you some degree of control.

Even for the off-device stuff it usually gives a direct answer, without fluffing up the user, and almost always mentions double checking validity or speaking to a professional for advice (such as medical advice).

I donโ€™t need to tell people here how terrible AI like ChatGPT is at confidently misleading people and pretending to be a users friend.
