Apple has rolled out iOS 18.2, which includes ChatGPT integration with Siri, and it’s available today for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, though only on newer devices you’ll need an iPhone 15 Pro or later to access Apple Intelligence, which stands for Apple’s new suite of AI integrations.
Some early AI-powered features are already available to users of the latest iOS, such as the ability to rewrite emails and receive notification summaries has drawn some derision from Apple for its insensitive form summed up the division of man. It can also summarize emails, which can be useful for triage.
iOS 18.2 also introduces Genmoji, which allows users to create custom emojis by simply typing in a description, as early beta users described them cartoonish and superficial.
Other AI-powered features now available include a focus mode that allows users to mute notifications but intelligently recognize important ones, such as a child’s text message, and push them forward.Users can also edit their photos to remove objects.
The ChatGPT integration will kick in when the user asks Siri a complex question—the kinds of questions that Siri is notoriously bad at answering—when Siri wants to ask a question to ChatGPT, it will first ask the user for permission to do so : Apple says ChatGPT creator OpenAI won’t store user requests.
Using ChatGPT with Siri doesn’t cost money, though users can pay for ChatGPT Plus or Pro levels through Apple if they want access to the chatbot’s full capabilities, neither Apple nor OpenAI has ever said , whether any money trades in. If users subscribe to the premium tier of ChatGPT via iOS, Apple will take a 30% cut, which is a great deal seems
Anyone who has ever used ChatGPT or other models knows that the issue of hallucinations (causing false responses) remains devastating. , which are constantly changing as OpenAI rotates its models (ie, users often perceive the chatbot to have become “dumb”). But Apple is pushing hard on services to sell more devices as iPhones last longer and customers replace them less often. The goal is to convince over a billion iPhone users that they need these new features.Apple is developing its own in-house AI for many of these features and will likely require more control over its performance in the future.
One interesting thing to note is that with over 2 billion active devices in its ecosystem, Apple probably has the best chance to introduce new AI products to the general public, though ChatGPT The most popular AI brand todayits 300 million active users pales in comparison to the numbers that Apple could achieve with Apple Intelligence. Many “norms” still don’t use AI chatbots. It could be worse if humans start relying on bad information from their phones.
At least, ChatGPT aside, the rest of Apple’s AI integrations have clear practical uses. have more potential than factually bad chatbots.
Apple feels like it doesn’t have much of a vision these days because it can’t find a market with the Vision Pro and canceled its car project. The company is reportedly investing heavily in development new server chips designed for AI cope with the intensive computational demands of all these new features.
