The report also invoked Elon Musk—founder of Tesla, SpaceX, and the mind-machine interface company Neuralink—as tweeting grievously about the development: Apple can now use OpenAI's ChatGPT in iOS 18 to draft answers for Siri. In the wake of this, he announced on his grievance platform, X, as a warning shot: his companies would stop using Apple devices. If Apple snoops @openai at the OS level, then Apple devices get banned at my companies. That is an unacceptable Security Violation"
Elon then went ahead to reemphasize this point by addressing even the security of visitors to his companies, "Visitors get apple devices taken away and put in a faraday cage until they leave.".
The latest announcement led to a lot of arguments among X users, with some wanting an "X smartphone" developed as a reaction to the concerns Musk had raised.
Apple and OpenAI made it clear that there will be a need for the consent of users when there would be any interaction with ChatGPT. Musk again was not convinced and proposed; "Unless OpenAI has no access to iPhones, it should just remain as an app.".
After being criticized by independent tech enthusiast Marques Brownlee, he was responded to with a question wondering whether Apple's supposed stand for privacy was real, now that it shared all its user data with a third-party AI.
In its 'WWDC 2024', Apple's emphasis included the infusion of ChatGPT across its OS landscapes, iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, along with macOS Sequoia. This will now enable Siri more power to leverage the capabilities of ChatGPT while ensuring the user's consent at every prompt. Apple further divulged that ChatGPT would enter system-wide Writing Tools within the iOS and iPadOS 18 update in order to guide users to create content for numerous applications.
