The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

75%

Examples:

  • Apple Intelligence is more of a ghost in the machine, animating the functions of your phone.
  • During the two years since OpenAI unleashed ChatGPT to the public, we’ve been left to speculate about what drastic effects generative A.I. might have on society.
  • One can imagine that a single bizarre accident might be enough to turn an iPhone user off A.I.
  • Yet generative A.I. remains prone to random misunderstandings or ‘Hallucinations’.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The fact that Apple A.I. is designed to run on the device itself promises to protect users’ vulnerable personal data to some extent.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Apple is confident in the high quality of its A.I., despite not achieving hundred-percent accuracy.
  • Apple’s A.I. model has three billion parameters, while OpenAI’s GPT-4 has over one trillion.
  • Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, sees the tool as a ‘secondary, semi-autonomous brain.’
  • Generative A.I. can misunderstand or hallucinate information and lacks factual accuracy.

Deceptions

45%

Examples:

  • Apple Intelligence marks a step into a new technological era
  • I had a less sanguine reaction to the W.W.D.C.
  • The A.I. community calls this sort of tool an ‘agent.’ Let your A.I. agent access all of your contacts, texts, and calendars, and it will competently plan your life.
  • We will rapidly enter a world in which we don’t know whether a text message was written by the person sending it or by Apple Intelligence.
