Apple and Google are argued to have an edge in consumer AI
The post argues that Apple and Google may win the consumer AI race for two reasons:

- They can tap into personal context from the device and ecosystem, while ChatGPT cannot.
The attached screenshots frame this as a debate around consumer AI distribution and default access on mobile devices.
