I switched back to Android recently, looks like just in time. I don't consent to having anything at all be ingested by AI unless I manually initiate it. Furthermore, I've seen a few discussions on HackerNews stating that "Comes with an AI integration!" is now more of a red flag than a boast, as it was previously.
I'm not trying to diss Apple, as they are my favorite "big tech" company, but how can I trust that my data won't be processed if it is baked into the entire operating system? How can I trust or prove that the data stays locally on my device? I'd rather decline the whole process and do it on my own terms.
