ChatGPT Gains Support for Reminders and Tasks

Hilarious if chatgpt starts suggesting reminds of things that are slightly wrong / time is an hour out, location slightly different or just drops in a different name.

I'd not trust it with anything like this.

Can we just disable Siri and replace it with ChatGPT? It’s clear Apple will never catch up, they should just give up at this point.

Each big iOS-update will get us closer to Siri being useful again. It might take a while, but I'd rather have them take their time a try to make sure each update works decently, than rush. They're so late to the LLM party that it doesn't even matter anymore when they arrive.
 
This forum will find a way to complain about anything. Y'all have turned into grumpy old men, you know that, right?

Wait hold up folks. Is this a LLM text-based front end for the Fantastical app (which already has natural language input)? Wow! And it only costs an additional $20 month! Game changer!

I think someone who really understands AI should explain to the rest of us why AI seems to be great at programming and pretty much ***** at everything else.

People laughed at the first cars because they weren’t faster than horses. You’re missing the bigger picture of where AI is heading and mocking a seed for not being a tree yet.

I'm not convinced, at all, that the current AI companies are heading anywhere near the future you're proposing. Until accuracy is put at the forefront, it'll be limited.

Just because you do something one way, it doesn't mean every one does. There's a whole world out there outside of your field of awareness. No, I don't plan every meal a week in advance. I buy groceries with foods I typically eat and then decide what I want to eat when the time comes to make it.

Same here! Going by the comments I was just wondering if I was the only one doing it this way.

I find that it's a matter of how people see the world and their capacity for adaptation to new circumstances.

To some, often those who embrace novelty, it's immediately obvious how incredibly useful these things can be in augmenting your existing skills with new ones or accelerating your work with a partner that you can delegate to.

Others fear change, probably have had the same job forever and aren't capable of adapting to new roles or just simply like the way things are. They have a revolting feeling against anything that'll disrupt it so they refuse to see its usefulness — or simply can't.

The latter group is going to have a wake up call much sooner than they imagine when they finally realize that they're being left behind and have to learn how to use AI while the first group are by then experts in leveraging AI and already way ahead.

There is a third group, which I'm a part of. I just don't care about AI. I'm not revolted by it, I'm not bothered by change, and I can adapt, but I'm not impressed with it, and I just don't care.

AI? Yawn....

Edit: Oh yea, the accuracy needs to be near 100%. not 50%, not 97%.. much closer to 100%. I can, right now, go ask chatgpt a couple medication questions (my field), and it gives wrong answers.

Apple ought to be ashamed of the mess/embarrassment that Siri is. 13 years later and it can barely start a timer without screwing up. They ought to just get rid of it entirely.

OpenAI today said that it added a new "Tasks" beta feature to ChatGPT, allowing ChatGPT to provide reminders for upcoming tasks. The feature supports one-time reminders or recurring actions, with users able to use conversational language to set up notifications for tasks.

ChatGPT is able to do things like send a weekly global news briefing, provide a daily 15-minute workout, set reminders for completing a task like language practice, send a daily joke, create a meal plan each evening, provide reminders about upcoming events like birthdays, and more.


Reminders can be created in chat or through the tasks page under the profile menu, though the "4o with scheduled tasks" model needs to be selected. The new model is still rolling out to subscribers.

At the current time, Tasks is available to Plus, Pro, and Teams subscribers in a beta capacity, and in the future, it will be available to everyone with a ChatGPT account.

We've had reminders on iPhone for a good while, what's the point in this?

It is the first step in turning ChatGPT from a simple request-response application into a scriptable, active agent. OpenAI's long-term strategy is to evolve ChatGPT into an autonomous agent capable of anticipating users' needs and proactively performing complex, multi-step tasks with minimal prompting from the user.

There may be a joke in there that you missed.

Perhaps it's a to-do list that couldn't load for whatever reason, which means one wouldn't/couldn't know what to-do.
