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

I got my mom an iPad, apparently AI is unavoidable in setup. To finish setup, you must agree to Apple AI.

They are all doing it together. I can't keep track of who owns what, perhaps "they" are all actually owned by the same megacorp.

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.
