To be fair, it's not uncommon to critique an ecosystem without actively participating in it. Sports commentators do this all the time. Literature critics do this all the time. Thought leaders do this all the time. One might even say that the best critics have a broad outside perspective combined with deep insiders knowledge.

The question is, what role does Apple want in the future? That of a player or a critic?

They announced the partnership with ChatGPT last year? If you're going to be a journalist you have to fact check rigorously.

As for Apple throwing punches at the AI industry while quietly borrowing ChatGPT: Why break with tradition? Some of the largest advances attributed to (and claimed by) Apple were invented or pioneered elsewhere. The big question is whether they can do so again with AI. I actually wish them luck! Maybe they can come out with something similarly useful as (properly done) Copilot and Recall, but minus the security and privacy nightmares of those in their initial versions.

Kamil , perhaps you have covered this, after a very cursory look I couldn’t find anything, can you recommend any classes for learning AI prompts?

I hope Apple will do what they always have done.

Be late to the party, be more expensive with less features, but with the best user experience in the industry.

But I’m not holding my breath…
