Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and others are blowing through billions of cash developing standalone AI products and services that have a lot of issues, such as high energy use, the ethics of curating the corpus with offshore labour, and privacy concerns.
Apple could leapfrog them and push out a new AI that runs securely on its own hardware. They’re letting everyone else create the appetite for AI, then will sweep in and clean up. If they do it right.
Google, Microsoft, Mera and OpenAI are all software companies that sometimes sell hardware.
Apple is a hardware company that sells software on the side.
Sure, Apple could leapfrog both Google and Microsoft. But I wouldn’t count on it. If you want to see how good Apple is right now, compare Google Assistant to Siri.
Unless they’re going around spending millions in AI startups at the right moment they’re not going to get ahead, also it might not even be their endgame since generative AI is very controversial atm and them not fiddling with it until its been regulated, or at least put on a leash, it’s probably the smartest thing to do. With the current AI offering (MetaAI, ChatGPT, Google Bard, etc.) you need to pick a side that might bite you back in the future, and lock you into a product that might not give your users the polish that you expect from their software.
How do you think it’s incorrectly used?

Haha seems the same strategy as foldable phones.
However I think we can all agree, that fad will burn out before Apple even is going to get involved.
The day Apple brings out their foldable the market will graduate from fad to mainstream
