If you report a bug, Apple reserves the right to train Apple Intelligence on your private logs by David Gerard

Pivot to AI

iOS developer Joachim Kurz found a bug that was bad enough to go through the pain of Apple’s horrible Feedback Assistant.

Feedback Assistant ideally wants a bug to have your system logs to send to Apple’s developers. A privacy notice warns you there’s likely to be private information in those logs.

But Apple’s added a new line to the privacy notice: [hachyderm.io]

… agree that Apple may use your submission to improve Apple products and services, such as training Apple Intelligence models and other machine learning models.

There is no opt-out.

This is not a notice of, say, using machine learning to analyse bug reports. It’s specifically reserving the right to train the Apple Intelligence product on your private logs.

This seems a good way to discourage bug reports. No reports means no bugs, right?

(Kurz says he’s seen Apple treat bug reports that way. “We didn’t get any reports from users about this bug you described, can’t be a big issue.”) [hachyderm.io]

We don’t know that Apple is as yet training its AI on private system data from bug reports. But they very much reserve the right to in the future.

There’s a corporate push to put Apple Intelligence into everything. This notice can be presumed to have passed muster with legal.

The fun part is that Apple Intelligence is barely functional trash that everyone hates. It’s Apple’s worst product since Apple Maps. Apple Intelligence will likely be shut down once the AI bubble passes. And good riddance.
