Recently, we told you about Google Gemini, their AI service that seems to be big on diversity, but not so much on historical fact or white people. The backlash was swift (and naturally blamed on 'right-wingers'), and Google pulled the AI service.
So imagine our surprise when news broke Apple is interested in Gemini.
BREAKING: Apple, $AAPL, is in talks to build Google's, $GOOGL, Gemini artificial intelligence engine into the iPhone, per Bloomberg.

Huh. This ends badly.
Although it may not happen at all.
However, discussions with Google do not guarantee a deal, as Apple has also explored using Microsoft's OpenAI service.

And if the reaction on Twitter/X is any indication, maybe it won't.
This will be the end of Apple and iPhone.

Yes, it will be.
I already got rid of my iPhone, you don't need to give me any more reasons.

This writer LOVES her iPhone and MacBook. But Gemini is a deal breaker for her.
Sure.

Given Google's obvious and oh so very public success with its AI efforts, this is the only logical partnership for Apple. https://t.co/PBhTA0GVD5 pic.twitter.com/EEnSnRumkC

By all means, let’s take a pickaxe to the walled garden. So much for privacy. https://t.co/yq8fFDv6EP

So much for privacy and sanity.
Cannot stress how bad this decision would be for Apple and its users. Surprised that @tim_cook would even entertain this. https://t.co/B9uXc8ZgK6

An excellent question.
🚨IS YOUR IPHONE ABOUT TO GO WOKE?

Apple is reportedly in talks to integrate Google’s Gemini AI engine into the iPhone after also having discussions with OpenAI.
It may appear as part of iOS 18 to power generative AI for image creation and essay writing.

We keep asking that question.
So Apple shows its hand. They are completely caught off-guard by AI.
— Dave Lalande (@davelalande) March 18, 2024
This seems important. How is Apple not leading the way on AI?
This would the the reason to ditch the iPhone https://t.co/Cnys6Hp9Gn

Yes, it would be.
Had my hopes up that Apple was cooking up some innovative AI for their products but nope we get this instead. SAD https://t.co/0oZqI5iCj9
