It's wild just how much they're trying to shove AI down our throats.

This can be turned off after setup.

It's stupid that this is the feature they decide to force considering using an Apple account during setup is still optional.

Thank you, I didn't finish setup, I took a deep breath and turned the pad over and declared that I am done for the day. A man has to know his limitations.

Clever, so you have to agree to the terms either way.

It's not clear if skipping account setup also disables AI so I'm not sure if there is a Terms of Service that must be accepted.

Feels like something someone would at least attempt to sue Apple over for not disclosing upfront.

I am still punishing the iPad and have yet to flip it back over.

AI WILL LEARN SOME MANNERS UNDER THIS ROOF

and thank you, mom always said I was a clever boy!
