The author expresses hope that Apple will maintain its unique approach to technology and not simply jump on the LLM bandwagon. They suggest that Apple's emphasis on user privacy could allow them to innovate in how LLMs are implemented, potentially setting new industry standards for AI data usage and privacy. The author hopes that if Apple integrates LLM technology, it will do so thoughtfully, considering how it truly benefits the user and aligns with Apple's core principles of simplicity, user privacy, and an intuitive user experience.
Key takeaways:
- Large Language Models (LLMs) are significantly impacting the tech industry, but they come with limitations such as biases in training data, lack of true understanding, and potential privacy concerns.
- While other tech companies have integrated LLMs into their products and services, Apple has been slower to do so, which could potentially put them at a disadvantage.
- Apple has made strides in the field of LLMs with the open-source release of 'Ferret', a multimodal LLM that can use regions of images for queries, indicating a strategic investment in AI and LLMs.
- Apple's emphasis on user privacy could allow them to innovate in how LLMs are implemented, potentially setting new industry standards for AI data usage and privacy.
