    The fact we haven't seen many recordings of this "in the wild" suggests the user group so far must be really small...

    Same as https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/30/24209650/openai-chatgpt-a... ? I don't have Twitter, so I'm not 100p sure.

    Related question that I was briefly pondering last night: is iOS only offering Siri anticompetitive?

    Should (will?) Apple have to open up and allow other agents direct access in the same way Siri has? Either allowing user control over the backend that Siri uses for everything, or alternatively allowing other agents system access so that “hey Alexa” or “hey ChatGPT” are monitored and actioned the same as “hey Siri”?

    Should have been rolling out months ago, but better late than never I guess.

    Is there a place to hear what the voice(s) sounds like?

    i guess i was in the beta testing for it as i had tried it on my phone two months back. its pretty good. its only siri killer if apple gives it access to whole ios system. i use android and google keeps an eye each of my activity

    This is a siri killer.
