For me, when the AI service is operatied by the OS vendor, with root... What is the possible benefit of on device processing?

* If you trust the OS vendor, why wouldn't you trust them to handle AI queries in a responsible, privacy respecting manner?

* If you don't trust your OS vendor, you have a bigger problem than just privacy. Stop using it.

What makes people think that on-device processed queries can't be logged and sent off for analysis anyway?

I envy your very simple, sedentary life where you are never outside of a high-speed wifi bubble.

Look at almost every Apple ad: It's people climbing rocks, surfing, skiing, enjoying majestic vistas, and all those things that very often come with reduced or zero connectivity.

Apple isn't trying to reach couch potatoes.
