Siri on Steroids? Apple’s Pumping Its Assistant Full of ChatGPT!
Folks, Apple’s Siri, you know, the one that sometimes struggles to understand “set a timer,” is getting a massive brain boost. They’re injecting it with ChatGPT, the AI that can write poems, debate philosophy, and probably even do your taxes if you ask nicely.
This means your iPhone, iPad, and Mac will soon be able to handle questions Siri couldn’t even dream of answering before. Ask for a haiku about your cat? Done. Want a detailed summary of the French Revolution? ChatGPT’s got you covered.
Apple’s clearly feeling the heat from other tech giants who are already playing with AI. This move is like Apple saying, “Hey, we’re not just polishing apples anymore, we’re building a freaking AI orchard!”
But here’s the kicker: Apple’s promising this ChatGPT power-up will be free and private. No need to create an account, and your requests won’t be stored. They’re basically saying, “We’ll give you the AI smarts without the creepy data collection.”
Now, we’ll have to wait a bit for this magic to happen. It’s coming in iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2, which are expected to drop sometime in December. So, while we wait for Siri to become a super-powered AI assistant, maybe we can teach it to understand “set a timer” first.
