GPT is overrated. I have found you can get it to give you the answer you want, and also when you just let it give you an answer it can often be wrong.

Definitely overrated. I have also noticed this when I tried communicating with it and it just...agrees with me. It is dumb. People go to universities and schools to see that other people may have different opinions. And they created a robot that just throws random answers from some database
 
According to Haitong analyst Jeff Pu, Apple plans to run some of the features on data servers powered by its own in-house chips.
This is only temporary measure though. Ultimately Apple wants to run ALL of AI features on device instead of servers, all for privacy purpose. This effort though will likely take few more years as Apple keeps making the neural engine on Apple Silicon better.
 
I think people are underestimating LLMs at the OS level.

Imagine LLMs being able to control apps for you. You can tell an LLM to automatically setup Shortcuts for you since no one knows how do create them. You can tell an LLM install the best Ad Blocker for Safari for you and configure it to work properly. Even mundane things like asking an LLM to disable notifications for an annoying app should work well too.

Think of it like a highly capable digital assistant on your phone that can control your phone on your behalf. Don't think of it as a chat app.

I seriously doubt this rumor - not the ChatGPT part, but the idea that "they are finalizing any deals for iOS 18 now". That's not how this works. I think the features for iOS 18 have been been decided and locked for quite a while now. Either they already agreed on this much earlier, or they are coming to an agreement for iOS 19 or later.
I think Apple tried to build their own LLM, but didn’t get the quality they want so far, then started to negotiate with other providers (when that was reported a while back), and one can imagine that these are fierce negotiations, possibly exceeding the Google Search deal. I’m not surprised at all they are only closing a deal now. They have still at least four months to integrate it (and surely already have done a lot of work for this that doesn’t depend on the LLM used), and it also wouldn’t be the first feature that isn’t ready for the x.0 release and only comes in a later dot release, while they can already advertise it and build anticipation for it.

Another Cook'ism, great announcement for the KeyNote, but terrible for Apple users and developers. I'll bet straight up it is only available by subscription. I'm surprised we don't have to pay a subscription to access Apple's main web site.
 
My guess is free and paid. Free for basic tasks ChatGPT lets you do today in 3.5 but paid for anything other requests. This should help off set costs Apple will accrue building data centres and to assist with future development of their own AI infrastructure. I’ve referenced something I call Siri+ previously and I believe the paid version will be part of Apple’s services. I can forsee in future versions of their OS offerings it helping with putting together videos and edits, auto correcting photos and images based on what ask it to look like. These might be part of future iterations of their software packages but under a monthly subscription.
Yeah, and those who already pay for ChatGPT Plus will nevertheless have to pay double.
 
Oh god no!! OpenAI is the last one I’d want on my device. They stole so much data for their training and are in so many lawsuits! They are probably the least ethical Ai company funded by M$. I will have to seriously reconsider Apple products if they go with OpenAi.
 
I mean the features yeah, but they could've been making PoCs with different providers for a fixed set of features and now they conclude that OpenAI was the best provider so they are closing in a deal?


I mean, currently, OpenAI GPT is the best performer out there, Anthropic have also good models but don't know how battle-tested they are. OpenAI had ChatGPT for a long time now

ChatGPT isn’t the best at all. Between all of them out there, ChatGPT, Gemini, others they probably all flip back and forth depending on the use case and who just dropped the last version.. it’s early days.

More like Siri2, "We blocked that for you because it is not good for you or your children."

Which you say, "But, it was only about <insert controversial topic here>?"

Siri2, "Apple has disallowed conversion about that topic because it would tarnish Apple's brand (the agency told us so)."

Siri2, "Apple expects you to be dumb and silent about <controversial topic> like you were taught in school."
 
Chat GPT? I am gonna leave this here.
It sure is more useful than Siri as it can sell a Chevrolet Tahoe for $1.

Most people dont understand LLMs - they see ChatGPT and jump to conclusions. The main purpose will probably be the ability to understand what exactly we're asking. Siri is simply horrible at that. LLMs are vastly superior in that regard. The LLM doesnt have to pull info from it's own knowledge (gasp!).

The text at the top is obscured, what does it say?

Bottom line is "Please confirm all information with the dealership" I am guessing the line above it warns about potential inaccurate responses?

They all did the same thing. Claude has been a target like everyone else. They have all scraped data. That's the only way to train these systems. I personally do not think it's unethical. That's how it works. The reason Apple hasn't directly gotten involved is the liability of deep pockets. Everyone would line up around the block to go after Apple. Who knows, they may go after Apple still because of integration with the device.

So a rumored meeting between Apple and OpenAI took place three months ago, and already they are powering a portion of iOS 18 to be released in the fall? I don’t think so.

Hahaha I've seen eyes glaze over when you mention setting up shortcuts! Wholly agree. There is a universe where this could be a very powerful addition to an operating system. I also think there's plenty of pitfalls but hoping Apple manages to avoid them.
