In light of this, Apple’s choice to integrate with ChatGPT from OpenAI looks worse. Even with its privacy promises of not revealing much information and asking the user explicitly, these and other events in OpenAI should trigger serious concerns with Apple executives. The top Apple executives have said that they started with ChatGPT because it’s the best. Maybe this partnership won’t be around this time next year.

Remember that time Steve was excited to integrate Facebook and Twitter into iOS as first class citizens?

This reminds me so much of that moment

Then I remember how bad Siri is. OpenAI has basically shamed Apple out of no where. They desperately need this just to look competitive in the space .. which is weird and unfortunate

It sounded like they made it flexible so they could slot in other models. Maybe it will even allow users to choose the model, once there are more options.

They could use Mixtral, Minstral, XWin, Mythomax, or Claude 3 Haiku 196M. They’re all great and most/all are better than Siri.

I think the best thing Apple could do is let the user choose which AI to load in. It could be like iTunes or the App Store and called the AI store. Then AI providers can compete on privacy & effectiveness. The store would need lots of features to enable comparison though or users won’t be able to decide which ones might be worth picking.
