WARNING: Apple MacOS 27 is reportedly loaded with massive,
non-disableable Google Gemini AI SLOP
Presumably Apple is paying Google a fortune for access to their
misinformation SLOP machine Gemini AI, and Apple wants to make sure
you can't opt-out. That's how the billionaire Big Tech CEOs operate.
They stuff this garbage DOWN YOUR THROAT like they own you.
DISGUSTING.
Reports so far -- subject to change as I learn more -- are that unlike
in previous versions of macOS there is no simple way to disable "Apple
Stupidity" -- oops, I meant "Apple Intelligence" which is wedded at the
hip to Siri. Also, reports are that the AI crap alone is taking 10s
of gigabytes of space and comes right back when deleted. If you don't
have a big storage Mac, this is going to hurt. Does Apple care? OF COURSE
NOT. Like Google, it's all about keeping their billionaire CEOs living the
lifestyle to which they've become accustomed and we could never dream of.
You might let Apple know about this, for whatever good it does.
If I learn more that changes any of this, I'll let you know.
