My hunch is that this is arguably bad insofar that it helps out OpenAI / SOTA LLMs, but otherwise a positive thing?
I think we want to see people start deploying weak AIs on massive scales, for many different sorts of tasks. The sooner we do this, the sooner we get a better idea of what real problems will emerge, and the sooner engineers will work on figuring out ways of fixing those problems.
On-device AIs generally seem a safer than server LLMs, mainly because they’re far less powerful. I think we want a world where we can really maximize the value we get from small, secure AI.
If this does explode in a thousand ways, I assume it would be shut down soon enough. I assume Apple will roll out some of these features gradually and carefully. I’ll predict that damages caused by AI failures with this won’t be catastrophic. (Let’s say, < ~$30B in value, over 2 years).
Out of the big tech companies (FAANG), I think I might trust Apple the most to do a good job on this.
And, while the deal does bring attention to ChatGPT, it comes across to me as a temporary and limited thing, rather than a deep integration. I wouldn’t expect this to dramatically boost OpenAI’s market cap. The future of Apple / server LLM integration still seems very unclear.
Edge AI is the only scenario where AI can self replicate and be somewhat self sufficient without a big institution though? It’s bad for AI dominion risk, good for political centralization risk.
