It’s definitely a lot more natural talking to it now. I’m actually asking it for advice on my exercise and diet routines and got some valuable information on what I could improve. Things I wouldn’t have even bothered asking if I had to type it.

The voices are still somewhat robotic sounding, but they’re getting eerily close to an actual human now. Not really as mono-toned anymore.

I’m still not going to disclose any personal information, who knows what OpenAI will do with my data?

I’m looking forward to a future smarter Siri. Something that can integrate with my devices.

By speaking to it you have giving up your voice patterns. Not necessarily that useful in the greater scheme of things but it is personal info.

So far, this particular technology has no use for me. So I'll watch from the sidelines and see how things go.

Just remember when you complain about Siri being terrible it’s in part because Apple is “respecting your privacy”
Indeed.
Also protecting themselves from more litigation. AI isn't logic that can be tested and kept within known parameters.
With all that money in the bank, and legions of Lawyers with student loans to pay out there, Apple needs to be careful of what "advice" their AI gives anyone.

Good point. They’re taking every piece of data that they can, even the things we normally wouldn’t think about. I think I’ll hold off on using ChatGPT unless I really need it for something.

It’s cool technology, but I just feel a little uneasy about it still.

Testing out the Voice Chat feature. Pretty cool. Wish it also displayed the spoken text.

EDIT — Cancelling the Voice Chat feature shows the written response, too. Cool.

Amazed at how FAST ChatGPT is. Super super fast!
 
Just imagine how bad Apples version will be when they try to get Siri to do this.
Me : "Siri, how many pizzas do I need for 700 people".
Siri: "Getting directions to 700 piazza boulevard Italy"
Just keep flogging that horse, I’m sure I saw a sign of life!
 
I’m not in the mood to give Altman, Peter Thiel and Microsoft my voice print and data.

I don’t think I’ll ever be in the mood for that.

They can’t even pay me a billion dollars to be in the mood for that.

I really mean that.
I agree with you.

Except the last bit. There’s not much I wouldn’t do for a billion dollars.

That’s really what it comes down to, for the most part. I don’t think most are aware of the invasions that happen daily, or maybe they don’t care — if a product works well, maybe they prefer not to know why.

You should compare with Siri — I find Siri to be faster, but answers are different — Siri gives you web results and OAI gives you a singular “opinion”. OAI results also don’t go past January 2022. Whether you prefer a single answer or multiple ones with references is up to the user — the latter is not as simple and clean — still not sure how this translates to revenue.
 
This is why I don't have much hope for them making a search engine. Unless they find and hire the next Larry Page. Search on Apple platforms has often just never been good.
Except for Spotlight. Searching things on the Mac has always been super easy since its introduction.

I might add, if I may….that a pessimist, is just an optimist with experience…….
Being pessimist or optimist is a choice.
There are people who face challenges and decide that life sucks.
And then there are people that in spite of those challenges, decide to look at this existence with hope.
 
Sure, free until you get so you depend on it and then it's just $5 per week, and then $10. And it records everything you say and uses it for its own purposes, including your voice probably.
exactly my concern. I do not need my voice recorded and stored.
 
Good to hear that it is free at least for now. Might start charging in a few years time.

Well sure but that’s been table stakes since the unix program locate decades ago. I mean searching for things that they didn’t place there and index within their own operating system.
 
Microsoft soooo much better reflexes than Apple, build on OpenAI product and integrated in their Search Engine and Operating system.
Apple is years behind OpenAI.
