EU: A popup screen must be displayed to allow users to choose between Siri and ChatGPT
Everyone who uses Apple Homekit (including myself) asked for it.
Weird, I've been controlling my lights with Siri for a couple years now.
Fun fact: The Luddites were actually a workers' movement. They weren't actually opposed to technology but the way it was being misused at workers' expense
It’s literally in the article.
and it plans to release a Windows version of the desktop app later this year.
No different than Google processing search queries from an iPhone. Apple's approach will use its own local LLM for local inquiries involving your data (your photos, calendar, email, messages, notes, contacts, location), while anything beyond that, that requires information available on the internet or a very large dataset, will farm openAI or Google's Gemini to do the search for you on behalf of Siri which will then take what's sent to it and return to local processing.
Apple has published papers on how its approach will maintain privacy and I'm thoroughly convinced it can be accomplished this way with little to no loss of data fidelity or speed.
Plus is going to have 5x the message limit and the voice feature.
Access to GPT4o is free for everyone, but the voice is a Plus feature.
I am furiously refreshing the app store waiting for this new app to populate. Very excited to play around with it. I hope folks integrate it deeply into the OS using Alfred.
Smart phones aren’t going anywhere.
Whenever people talk about some random AI gadget or wearable that might replace the smart phone, they conveniently leave out the thing that most people use their smart phones for…
Content consumption.
AI might replace a lot of things, but it’s not replacing video and pictures and games, all of which smart phones are excellent at.
Unless Johnny Ive and OpenAI’s device has a high resolution 6 inch or more screen on it that can fit in the palm of your hand, the smart phone is going nowhere.
People don’t want smaller screens, people don’t want a device where the only way to interact with it is talking to a chatbot.
Disagree all you want, but we’re still using the same basic desktop and laptop form factors that have been used since the 80s and 90s, and those certainly aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, despite how every couple years people go on and on about how desktops and laptops are going to be dead.
They are still here, phones will still be here many years from now.

So many imitators of this app out there, lotta folks gonna be duped into paying for an unrelated subscription.
Well that's something, but I'd rather have an even smarter AI if I continue paying for Plus.
I really like Chat-GPT, but I definitely think Siri shouldn’t be like it. Siri needs to improve a lot, but I think the main voice assistant of your phone should (almost) never provide an incorrect answer, or provide a simple, closed answer to complex and subjective questions. Once again, I really like Chat-GPT, but each service has its place, and the ChatGPT business model is not aligned with Apple’s expertise and culture.
Nobody said smartphones are going anywhere. Read the post again.
There's also a bunch of "Sora" AI video apps on the Apple app store! I thought the walled garden was supposed to stop this nonsense? I feel like I'm in Android hell.
I don’t believe Open AI will be processing all requests. Only some requests that call for certain kinds of LLM processing. But stuff that relates to your personal matters like iCloud, smart home, system operations, etc. will be Apple’s own on-device AI that’s been rumored.
Agreed. There needs to be some policing of this. It feels like a clear attempt to confuse users with the logos matching closely to the official OpenAI logo.
Yeah yeah, the iPhone is doomed,etc etc, same rhetoric that is existed since 2007.
“If Siri is as dumb as bricks against this, the iPhone cant compete. It's that simple.”
Except it’s not, because no one is buying a phone based on how good it’s voice assistant is.
And even if they were, it’s irrelevant. ChatGPT can be used on an iPhone. Google Assistant can be used on an iPhone. Any of these chatbots can be used on an iPhone just like they can an Android.
What if I'd like to remain a luddite, but also I don't want it taking up storage space and wasting time loading unused OS features into RAM?
The Humane AI pin was universally panned. I wouldn't count on them as it was a major fail across the board, but hopefully they learned from their mistake,If Siri can’t match this in its AI unveiling at WWDC, I’ll come out and say it: Apple is in serious trouble.

OpenAI unveils GPT-4o This is the most incredible AI demo I've ever seen – just mind blowing. And it's not just a feature sizzle reel, this stuff is actually useful in day to day life. Look, if Siri can't match this in its AI upgrade unveiling at WWDC, Apple is in serious trouble. Former Apple...www.threads.net
Smartphones have plateaued. After close to two decades, the iPhone and its competitors have gone into a maintenance cadence with minor iterations. There isn’t a lot to differentiate smartphones anymore so it’s the user experience that will do that. If Siri is as dumb as bricks against this, the iPhone cant compete. It's that simple.
A reminder that former Apple Chief Designer Jony Ive who helped Steve Jobs revive Apple with the iMac has partnered with openAI to design its own hardware. Buckle up.
Windows AI Explorer is coming, expected to be announced next week: https://www.windowscentral.com/soft...ut-microsofts-upcoming-defining-ai-pc-feature
you can already use alfred with gpt though can you not? perhaps not deeply integrated however, i admit
