Few things like more Elon Musk However, to be the center of attention, it must be acknowledged that he is sometimes right when it comes to raising certain questions or situations, such as when he could not use Windows 11 due to the obstacles that the system placed on him. use a local account. Yes, many laughed at him then, but his complaint was and is justified, not only because of functionality, but also because of privacy.

Seeing that Elon Musk is showing some sensitivity to privacy, at least in front of the gallery, mogul threatened to ban Apple devices from his companies if they eventually include integration with ChatGPT. Musk posted his threat via his X account (formerly Twitter) after Apple announced it was working with OpenAI to integrate the familiar chatbot. To be more specific, Elon Musk said the following: “If Apple integrates OpenAI at the operating system level, Apple devices will be banned in my companies. “This is an unacceptable security breach.”

To stay consistent with the image it shows to the public, Apple has said that the user will have to confirm in advance that they want to use ChatGPT, so on paper we will find a feature that will Log in and no opt-outand if it were the latter, we would be talking about an imposition that may not appeal to many users and fans of the bitten apple, who in many cases seek privacy in the brand.

However, although the use of ChatGPT on Apple devices will be optional and will need to be activated by the user, Elon Musk prefers it chatbot it works through a dedicated application and is not part of the operating system nor the personal digital assistant Siri. This is clear after the tycoon said “so leave it as an app. That’s bullshit (or shit),” in response to a message from Sam Pullara, chief technology officer of Sutter Hill Ventures. And Musk isn’t happy with that, even responding to Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, to tell him, “I don’t want this. “Either we stop this creepy spyware or all Apple devices will be banned from my company premises.”

It seems that Elon Musk is not very enthusiastic about the integration of artificial intelligence at the level of the operating system or parts of it, because At the end of last month, in response to Recall or Memories, he asked if it was time to switch to Linux, a controversial feature that attempts to feed the artificial intelligence used by Windows 11 by taking snapshots of virtually anything a user does with the operating system. It’s far from a fit of insanity from Musk, but concerns over the privacy risk that Recall poses have forced Microsoft to not enable it by default.

It remains to be seen if Elon Musk follows through on his threat, as Apple seems determined to move forward with the use of artificial intelligence in its devices. In addition to the coherence of the tycoon, there is no denying that features like Recall and others like it are atrocities that should be taken very seriously to be banned by law.
