Contrarian take on Apple talking to Google and others for AI.

Original iPhone launched with a dedicated Google Maps app. Apple learned how it was used and built their own app.

Would imagine they will do the same thing with AI. Get paid like they do for search, but then use usage data to carve off over time.

I think it’s a terrible decision and one I hope they don’t ink into place for a long time. If they wind up signing some deal for like a decade it will severely damage the brand in the coming years, IMO.
