But then he would be Elon Apple. I don’t think he’d go for that. Also, he would just bring back OS X.
Got a tip for us?

Elon Musk Threatens to Ban Apple Devices Over ChatGPT Integration

Yeah because we do actually need gatekeepers on AI. Anyone who thinks AI should operate without governance is hopelessly naive about it.
Still valid for all big companies.
Yes, and Windows is its own spyware. Adobe just reworked their EULA so that they get to go through anything you open or work on on an Adobe app. We’re in the middle of the biggest data heist in history. Legislation better catch up quick. The US is lagging way behind on this.

It isn't an original if you are just parroting someone elses thoughts.
He is creating an AI as we speak with open source code so that everything it does is out in the open and transparent.
You know what he should do to stick it to Apple? Remove Twitter completely from the app store. That'll show them!
But seriously, this is all just about a guy (Elon/Tesla) who got rejected by the popular girl (OpenAI). And the popular girl is going to the prom with the cool guy (Apple). Now he's calling her ugly, and telling the cool guy he's not invited to his party. That's all this is. How does this change anything from before? If I walk in with an existing iOS device, or an android, or windows device with the ChatGPT app installed? Say I allow it access to my microphone, well because I want to speak commands into the app. And I have allowed it to run in the background. Or maybe ChatGPT already defaults to these settings because they are evil anyway. How is THAT not a security risk?
I'm almost thinking this is all a ploy to get Samsung to sign a deal with Grok. Make an enemy of Apple, a friend with Samsung.

OpenAI also makes versions of chatgpt that can be used internally in companies without info sharing for exactly that reason, my company has one (not that I’ve found it all that useful, I dont find chatgpt generates great code, but that’s a separate problem). I would imagine Apple has plenty of both legally binding and technically vetted guarantees in place for this as well
Of course, its opt in for Apple. Android already has Google's AI integrated. No phones for bro's employees I suppose? And he might just fire you at any moment for no reason, just cause?
If I worked at any of his companies (but particularly for Tesla as their future does not look good after recent group firings he made) I would be looking for work elsewhere.

Just talked about it at work, Apple needs to provide to switch it off, otherwise corporate customers must look to other vendors. And currently Android has it's own problems, wonder what it then would be.
Seriously a lot of hate posts in this thread.
Apple has their say; Elon has his say.
When it comes to AI, based on past history and current dev, Elon knows a heck of a lot more about AI than I do.
I’ll take it with a grain of salt, but I’ll take his word over Apple for now. That may change as I learn more.
Personally I would rather have it stay as an app than bake it into the OS.

Most billionaires know to keep their mouths shut, not take it to reality tv levels.
Integration of open ai into iOS is a terrible idea.
I think before everyone scoffs at Musk's comment, carefully "reading between the lines" I think he wants Apple to be able to easily use other AI models like X.com's Grok, GitHub's Copilot, Google's Gemini and even Gab's Gab AI, selected by the end user.
Another asinine comment by this dude. He’s a total whack job.
Everyone quick to trust Apple on privacy when not too long ago they were going to scan your library for CSAM without even batting an eye. you think they had a change of heart on intrusiveness? I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell..
I think this claim of privacy should absolutely be challenged and have Apple show its work.
