After the news of the last day, in which Apple and Google signed an agreement to make Gemini the basis of Siri AI and the Apple ecosystem, there are many people who are happy, since it is great news for all iPhone users, but there are others, like Elon Musk, who do not see it the same way.
And the thing is, the owner of
Elon Musk doesn't want Gemini to train Siri
Apple and Google have decided to collaborate to use Google AI in some parts of the iPhone, now Elon Musk has not done well at all. As soon as the agreement became known, he came out to say that he did not like the idea at all and that it seemed to him that Google already has too much power to get involved there as well.
His anger comes mainly because Google already controls many important things, and now it would also be putting its technology at the heart of the iPhone. According to Musk, that doesn't look good in the long term, because it leaves very few companies handling almost everything related to artificial intelligence. In a way, he is right. However, there is Grok (yours), or ChatGPT, so we are not talking about a monopoly as clear as it wants to justify.
@NewsFromGoogle This seems like an unreasonable concentration of power for Google, given that it also has Android and Chrome

It must also be taken into account that Musk plays his own game. He has his own AI, Grok, as we already mentioned, and it is not exactly within Apple's plans. So part of the anger seems to come from there: Apple has preferred to rely on Google rather than its technology. If it had been the other way around, I'm sure he wouldn't say anything.
Meanwhile, Apple continues doing its thing. For them, this is not about doing Google a favor, but rather about making Siri stop feeling limited and work better on a daily basis. They use Google's base, but then adapt it in their own way and with their privacy regulations. Doing it on their own hasn't worked well at all, so it's the most interesting option for them now.
Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation.
xAI will take immediate legal action.

In the end, this seems more like a mix of egos, competition, and fear of being left behind than anything else. Apple wants to move quickly with AI, Google wants to put its technology in more places, and Musk doesn't want two giants to get even bigger.
Therefore, we will have to see how everything evolves, and if Elon is right, and finally Apple and Google come together and leave no room for more competition, or are they simply traveling companions in the future of AI, supporting each other and achieving something good for the user, both Android and iPhone. And you, what do you think of all this? Do you see the play well, or do you support Elon Musk?
