What does end-to-end encryption even accomplish when you're just feeding the information into an obscured, blackbox AI on the other end?

Like yes, I understand the importance of E2EE, I'm just making a point, it's all rather ridiculous.

    Thank you, this is exactly true.

    Most internet things are E2EE nowadays, but it matters not when the other end is AWS, Google, Cloudflare, or OpenAI.

    Supposedly Apple claims to encrypt it at rest and in transit.

    But data goes to the mothership anyway.

    'Bad actors' can't read your chatgpt conversations either, but OpenAI still does and can sell it.

    Apple may better than Google, but I still don't want my data there.

    Yeah also Prism - hello? Over 10 years ago we discovered that US can just enter any US based company's server and read anything they want unless it's directly encrypted but for these tools to function they have to decrypt data server side so LLMs can read the contents. Which means your data is not private in any way shape or form, not from Apple and not from US and not from anything in-between.

    These claims by Apple are absolutely meaningless smoke for the ignorant who just follow tech buzzwords.
