Do you think people would be okay with 'Recall' if Apple did it?

Yeah but recent only considers local files and you can't ask it which one said this or that if you don't remember. Its a good tool to keep track of a lot of things. As a student I would like that.
Once you find out we've had fuzzy finders for 40 years your mind is going to be blown.
I am not saying AI is not useful. It will be an amazing use case to sprinkle some AI into fuzzyfinders, but don't let it have everything that has ever been played on screen... Passwords, private windows, one-time messages... You must be very young if you don't see the problems with that.
There is a reason why we have password protected folders and files, or how we keep some stuff locked online, or how we use private browser windows. And you want to feed all that to an AI.
I know about the fuzzy finders and regular expressions. The Q was why I think it is helpful and I answered that. You're just hitting me with some dogma. You could also just know where your stuff is at and not need search tools either. Recall is a neat idea, but I don't have confidence in M$ execution or privacy.
