I’m hugely thankful my mother’s phone is too old to be infested with “Apple Intelligence”, so the fight to spare her from the stress & danger of this gibbering inanity is (for now) confined to kicking Windows Copilot in the face whenever it raises its head.

@gregeganSF @Faintdreams I'm certainly not looking forward to upgrading from my current

iPhone 13. I suspect disabling all that bobbins will be well documented by the time I do, though…

@WiteWulf @gregeganSF I went from two Android vers to current, recently and intrusive of the o/s GUI is stark.

Not only is Google more tendril-y but the consistent notifications to make me turn on or personalise aspects of the phone that I simply don't want nor need - automated or for-feck-sake Ai Infested - is INFURIaTING.

Example, was offered A.I. Gen 'Live' Animated wallpapers -based on my photo roll - OMG WHY WOULD I NEED THAT BATTERY SAPPING Uncanny Valley NONSENSE !

@Z_Zed_Zed @Faintdreams @gregeganSF why? It’s just another way for people to talk to you (and who actually wants that?) 😂
