Apple may be in talks with Meta to add another generative AI provider to iOS 18

Meta AI? Hard pass. The idea of having anything Zuckerberg is in control of powering the AI in my phone is creepy. 

Understandable, BUT: Apple has already demonstrated how they will handle handing off user requests to third parties -- they will ask you if you want the request sent to , and you can say no. In the betas so far, this only occurs with one partner -- OpenAI's ChatGPT -- but they will likely add some additional partners. Apple put extra "guardrails" on the OpenAI handling of certain requests, and they are likely to impose the same restrictions on other partners.

The good news is that Meta is unlikely to agree to that, so this may be a non-story from the get-go.
