Yes, it is interesting. Still not going to get me to use it. I don;t use Duck Duck go A.I, I use Duck Duck Go NO A.I. There is a specific site noai.duckduckgo.com and it don't use A.I.

I have not used Google search for a few years now and from what i have heard google forcing A.I onto people I can;t see myself using it again. At least Duck Duck go have the option.

Apple should also make the option to not use A.i easier, in the versions of MacOs before 27, it was easy to switch off, with 27 not so easy and when you do, it still still takes up disk space.

About time these companies realise that not all of us want to use A.I. I find it interesting, but have no reason to use it myself.

MacOS 27.2 is now out (as is iOS 27.2)

It seems to be adding sorts of extras to Siri AI except the ability to get rid of it, so it can wait... I'm quite happy with Tahoe on the Neo.

The iPhone 12 is too old to take all the AI stuff so I've put what's left on that, the iMac is Intel so won't update beyond Tahoe anyway



eta- Siri doesn't seem to be intelligent enough to realise when it's not welcome and just quietly leave the building... I wouldn't mind that

Make sure you update to 26.7.2 for the security fixes that have been backported to Tahoe. Lots of critical ones now from Apple, just like every other software company in the world. Good and bad guys using AI to find and fix, or exploit vulnerabilities.

Macrumors reported 160 or more fixes to Apple's small number of related products this month. Equivalent really to Microsoft's 900+ as they have many more products.

I'd done that on the iMac, but got sidetracked and forgot to do it on the Neo. Thanks for the reminder 👍
