OpenAI (ChatGPT company) is a dumpster fire of zero ethics.
Avoid this company the same way one avoids Meta/Facebook.

Use ChatGPT as Your iPhone's Action Button Assistant

The problem with having the action button assigned to mute your iPhone is that being juat another botton on the phone it is too easy to mute the phone inadvertently by pressing the action button resulting in the phone being muted without you being aware of it. I added the muting control to control center and use the action button to open the mail app. At this time I really don't have any interest in A.I. featiures.
I would humbly disagree. Even my 89 year old grandmother has hers set to turn on all her lights
I find it funny that everyone assumes that a company that has never made a profit (ChatGPT) is going to be more trustworthy than Google. They lost over 12 billion dollars last quarter.
I don't think their lack of profitability affects their trustworthiness, but I think their choice of CEO definitely does. Altman is swindler and a grifter. He has the ethics of a man who’d unplug your life support to charge his phone.
I think that they will be willing to sell the data to any buyer at levels equal to or greater than Google or Facebook.

Something happened in April of 2015 that left the mute switch on my phones permanently engaged. I didn't even notice when the switch was replaced with the action button, my phones have just always been on mute, 100% of the time.
I haven't tried ChatGPT voice, but may give it a try. ChatGPT isn't an emotional support animal for me, but it's a valuable research assistant that returns results impossible with web search engines.
Visions of Gramma Siri, walking frame, golden girls glasses, and a blue rinse in her beehive hairstyle.
"I found this on the web for you sweety"
Impossible to search for, as the results are oft made up and dressed up with convincing words.
What a time to be alive.
I use it for the flashlight. I hate the lock screen shortcut buttons since they got rid of 3D Touch. Or maybe they changed how they work at some point so you have to let go to activate. Either way if I’m in the dark I just want the flashlight without any fuss. Speaking of buttons, there’s nothing worse than pressing the hardware camera button and it says something like “press again to launch the camera”. YOU HAD ONE JOB!
Yeah, I thought the same thing. Odd to make an article about this. Why wasn’t it written about Gemini or Grok? Both of which are currently better than ChatGPT.!
"ChatGPT can't perform Siri-like system actions like accessing your calendar or setting an alarm."
This is a hilarious sentence cause Siri herself can barely do this.

This might be a dumb question, but what is the use case for using the ChatGPT voice mode in this scenario? Since it can't action anything on your phone for you like sending a message, skipping a song, etc, is this just to converse with it if you are doing research or having it action something else for you that isn't directly related to your phone?
