No, GPT isn't a search engine, it doesn't crawl websites looking up url. When asked for a link, it just makes up what looks like a plausible url.

Tim Cook Responds to Rise of ChatGPT, Says AI's Potential is 'Very Interesting'

No, GPT is trained on real data. It's actually trained on internet archive data upto 2021. I'm an Electrical Engineer by education.
It doesn't crawl websites because it's blocked from accessing internet for secuirty reasons. It's trained on manually crawled data.
Ultimately, in the future, AutoGPT will be crawling internet live, which will allow self learning and unsupervised iteration. That will become the rudimentary J.A.R.V.I.S. from Iron Man, or maybe it will be the end of the human species.
One of the two. 😂
I use it for job applications. I obviously don’t use it word for word but it helps me to get inspired instead of just looking at an empty word document for „hours“
This season of South Park has a great episode about ChatGPT and ChatGPT even wrote part of the episode.
A lot of science fiction imagines a future where humans are (often) willingly ruled by AI. Most recently, Raised by Wolves on HBO imagined a world where an AI manages all of the humans in the colony, assigns daily duties, and no one questions it. I think this is where we're headed. AI will make things easy. It'll write our college essays for us, or, as the South Park boys learn, texts to our girlfriends. It won't be long before we're wanting it to make life decisions for us. I'm also concerned about the loss of our humanity. I don't think AI will take it from us. I think we'll give it away.
Apple's AI is really trash, it's not even funny.
Must always remember most people who post about chatgpt and AI are just doing this

Siri requires a complete overhaul. Apple should put more efforts into AI
Good insight. AI is an extremely competitive field right now. Cook would be negligent if he told the public what is under wraps right now. Maybe Apple R&D is cooking up something interesting and promising. Maybe they have nothing great to offer. In either case.... it makes zero sense to introduce or speak about any AI product if it's not fully cooked and cannot be functional right away.
Meanwhile, Siri can’t even play a song you tell it to play. Half the time it’ll play a remix or just play the artist’s radio station.
Sounds like he’s found a new cheesecake recipe.
I wish I had the same insight into Apples Secret Project Department as you do. Please share what you "know". I’m assuming you are aware of their plans because you said you were….
Basically Apple don’t go around telling anyone their future plans so we/you/me have no idea how AI is being integrated in their products beyond their amazingly successful integration in the Apple Watch.
Well, at least you had the good sense to ask!
Here’s a simple example: charging the Apple Watch. The watch learns how you use it so that it can adjust the charging speed to preserve the lifetime of the battery. My watch is fully charged by 6am, which is roughly the time I get up.
Apple also uses AI in the camera to enhance pictures of, say, the moon.
Samsung does this in a slightly different way; when you take a picture of the moon, it replaces it with parts of it with better pictures of the moon that you didn’t actually take.
Going to assume you don't actually know Apple all that well, because when do they ever make bold or visionary statements outside of product launches?
I get that many here want daddy Tim to give them hope of a better tomorrow, but that's neither how Tim nor Apple rolls

So can you explain what it is about Apple’s processor optimisation AI and Neural Engine that makes it “really trash”?
I'm sure Tim will wait for his CCP overlords to let him know what he can do with it.
At the same time if I ask about same question in English, I get clear answer without reference to sites it found in Google. Do Siri get dumb when the language changes? Past 3 years it gives me same answers

Siri is a digital assistant not an LLM.
If you want an LLM from responsible engineers it needs to roll out safely, needs to be energy efficient so it can run locally on your computer or phone and it needs to be reliable. That is extremely hard.
Microsoft did it quickly because they don’t care about reliability or quality. Their software standards have always been bad.
At WWDC Apple will probably give a preview of Xcode with a language model assistant built in. You can build your own one now. There are about a dozen language models that run efficiently on your computer after a day or two of training.
Just don’t ever expect these to be perfect or fully reliable for a long time. Language is highly complex and even more so when we are talking about all the languages of the world.
This introduces another problematic layer.
Microsoft, Google or Apple products that feature a chat bot or LLM will have to follow the rules that some countries will want in place. Different countries will have different rules. Some don’t want free flow of information. Some don’t want a chat bot that is critical of those in power. Some don’t want a chat bot that can read news that has been censored locally.
The same rules that China imposed on on Google’s search engine will apply to chat bots there too.
So basically this is Tim Cook's way of saying that Apple is being the responsible one by being 'very thoughtful' on it's rollout of AI and all the others are being irresponsible due to their fast rollouts of AI.
Do you think he’s a BlackBerry executive in 2008?
I’m pretty sure they are researching AI as they’ve always done (not sure if it’s a successful research) and just don’t want to provide any more information about it.
He didn’t say that either of those things, or talk about anyone else. He said,
there are a "number of issues that need to be sorted" out with the technology and that it is "very important to be deliberate and thoughtful" in regards to how artificial intelligence is used.
You may have misread it.
