There are rumors all around that the tech giant Apple may release its AI chatbot Apple GPT any time soon but they are just rumoring that there is quite a good probability of it happening.
Currently, Apple GPT remains an internal project for the engineering team of Apple and there are no official statements by the company about the date of its release.
So, this article will help you to understand what Apple GPT is and what it will be used for.
Let’s deep dive into this interesting topic.
History of Apple GPT
Apple devices and features like Siri, Apple Maps, search, and even the mixed-reality headset Vision Pro are among the renowned things by the Apple company to talk about and they have truly benefitted the life of the Apple users.
The main thing that is lacking is that Apple does not have a chatbot of its own which is only for Apple users.
There are various famous and prolific chatbots in the market, like- ChatGPT, Google Bard, and Bing Chat which are based on emerging technologies like- artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Apple is famous for creating hype around its announcements and then using it to build anticipation. While it stayed away from the commotion around ChatGPT, reports emerged of AI development increasing in pace.
There were reports by Bloomberg that Apple’s AI chatbot is in development, but we think they are just speculations until an official statement is released by the company.
What is an AI chatbot?
Chatbots are conversational tools that perform routine tasks efficiently. People like them because they help them get through those tasks quickly and efficiently so that they can focus their attention on high-level, strategic, and engaging activities that require human capabilities that cannot be replicated by machines which in turn will be productive for them.
Overall, chatbots have made the lives of humans easier as they get the answers to all their questions in a few seconds without searching anything on the internet.
What Apple GPT will do?
Apple doesn’t use the term AI in its communication often. Even during their WWDC 23 event, they preferred “machine learning” and how it’s improving their products and leading to the addition of more features in them. Here are a few instances from their announcements:
- Machine learning uses a transformer language model, making keyboard text prediction more accurate than ever on iOS.
- The Journal app in iOS 17 will use on-device machine learning for personalized prompts of moments to inspire your reflections.
- Machine learning will help you autofill PDF forms (scanned or online) with names, addresses, and emails from your contacts.
- The Apple Watch will showcase widgets in a Smart Stack to show you relevant information at a glance.
- Adaptive audio will learn your listening preferences and deliver the best sound experience possible.
So, Apple’s AI strategy has been in play for several years across their devices, and Apple GPT could seamlessly slip into present and future projects. Apple’s voice assistant, Siri, could be an obvious interface for chatbot-like interaction. It will also become a part of the new health coaching service codenamed Quartz that will use AI to personalize plans and Apple’s long-running electric car (Project Titan).
Ultimately, we can assume that it might not be a distinct product like Google Bard, Bing Chat, or ChatGPT and so might not be called Apple GPT by the time it arrives on all Apple devices and services. But it will become a part of every Apple consumer’s life.
So, ultimately one day Apple GPT will be part and parcel of Apple’s consumers’ lives and they will enjoy using it.
