Siri?
Apple's Siri?
Help me to write messages?
No.

No.
Yeah, lets take it a step further.
I want messages coming from an AI and not a person to be marked as such.
... and when I receive such messages, I can have my own AI that generates and sends an appropriate reply. So the entire conversation can be made without ever bothering me. Nice huh? 🤪

Just. Stop. This.
Everyone.
Look at the crap that AI produces, and think for a moment.
Siri suggested a reminder for me today to talk to a security guard, just because someone had mentioned that it might be a possible situation that might arise in the future.

Like most new features it would depend on how well it's implemented, it's just vaporware at this point.
if mr jobs was still with us - wonder if he would have foreseen AI coming and jumped on it way before aapl is just starting now
Is this going to lead to a whole new era of people's texts sounding like they were written by ChatGPT? 🤖
Everybody who solely relies on external help for writing down their own thoughts gets dumber quicker.

Not to mention social anxiety will go up, some people already get anxious if someone calls them on the phone
Would I let Siri help me write me a message?
I already do! That’s why I’ve been typing this for three hours while the room lights switch on and off …

Hell no! Will it also randomly decide to throw in emojis, which I absolutely do not do beyond the occasional smiley, thumbs up, or heart to my wife?
Not really, at least not outside of these very niche forums.
It just sounds like you’re communicating with the wrong people.
If your friend or partner can’t understand that sometimes you’re busy and sometimes you’re not, that sounds like a boundary *you* need to set.
I have never found this to be the case, and sometimes I respond within a minute and other times I respond days later.
Obviously, a boss is a totally different type of situation…
This is great advice for so many reasons. I've regretted so many texts I've sent right away. Gotta have time to think about things.
Since GPT is essentially extremely advanced autocorrect, it could be helpful in some scenarios. Like everyone else I don't like the idea of it writing things for us and making us generally dumber. It does have applications where it could be enhancing, like re-writing something you wrote. More like a highly advanced thesaurus, better spell check with context awareness, etc.
The autocorrect in iOS 17 is literally GPT-2, so if you have that turned on, you're already doing it.
So to answer the question of help write messages, maybe.

At least you can get Siri to turn your lights on and off? That's better than my Siri.
In what world are we so feckless that we need GPT to help compose a stupid text message?
No because Siri is too dumb to even compose a coherent message. It would probably say something like "Here is an internet search for that" or something.
