Took a picture of a spider and went to look at the file details and Apple just went ahead and identified it for me ?!?

Ok, not a fan of AI, but…this I can live with. Thank you @OP I’ll take pictures of every spider I come across, this has opened a whole new world.

I was waiting for AR to become more mainstream before this became the norm ( just imagine wearing AR glasses and going into a forest and any insect / plant etc. you look at is identified with an option to get more details )

The AI is also listening to what you talk to make sure we are "protected".

No, no it’s not. Especially not on Apple devices. The only reason an iPhone would actively listen is if *you* set it up so you can say “hey Siri” or something like that. You can also revoke microphone access to any app that may have it by looking at that apps settings. This shit has been debunked so many times by so many different people that at this point it’s like saying the earth is flat.

Just like fb and insta is not listening to you when you talk and magically get an ad with exactly what you talked about.
