ChatGPT support in iOS, iPadOS, and macOS is here, but having used it for a few days, I have some thoughts.
Wikipedia, Web Search Results or ChatGPT – Apple’s ChatGPT Integration is All Over the Place if You Ask it Something
The name – ChatGPT – makes it obvious what it does; It’s a chatbot that accepts prompts and questions to give you answers.
iOS, iPadOS, and macOS now have ChatGPT integration, but the way it works currently isn’t that great at all.
For example, I asked Siri a basic question: what is the difference between Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 5? At first, it showed me the Wi-Fi toggle switch, which was turned on. Not quite what I asked for.
I asked again, and it gave me a small answer which was close to what I expected.
I tried again, but this time straight from the ChatGPT website and it gave me everything in one go.
Sometimes Siri will give you answers from Wikipedia, sometimes it will show you web search results, and sometimes ChatGPT will show up out of nowhere.
It’s all over the place.
You can’t talk to ChatGPT like you would on the website. I dropped in a sentence into Type to Siri and asked it to refine it, and for some reason, it launched the Music app and started playing a random classic rock music station.
However, with Writing Tools, it works just fine.
From a user-experience perspective, I honestly don’t know what’s happening here.
