Siri Gets a Boost with Optional ChatGPT Integration (Free for All Users)
Apple announced a significant upgrade for Siri: the ability to tap into OpenAI’s ChatGPT technology, but with an important twist – user control. Here’s how it will work:
- Optional Integration: When Siri encounters a complex question, it will ask you if you’d like to share it with ChatGPT. This gives you the choice between the traditional Siri experience and potentially more advanced responses powered by ChatGPT.
- Focus on External Models: This integration reflects Apple’s broader strategy of allowing users to leverage external AI models. This approach goes beyond ChatGPT, suggesting Apple might incorporate other AI models in the future.
- Free and Privacy-Focused: The best part? Accessing ChatGPT functionalities within Siri will be entirely free and won’t require any account creation. Additionally, Apple assures users that their requests and information won’t be logged, prioritizing user privacy.
- Expanded Functionality: ChatGPT’s capabilities extend beyond Siri. It will be integrated into systemwide writing tools. Imagine creating a bedtime story for your child with the help of ChatGPT, complete with AI-generated images!
- Availability: This exciting feature will be available later this year with the rollout of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia.
