This really is a crying shame. The ChatGPT stuff is AFAICT a bit of half-assed (and opt-in??) Siri integration, and in the meantime Apple has pulled off a bunch of engineering feats that (1) have zero to do with OpenAI and (2) work in exactly the privacy- and ethics-focused directions that OpenAI has failed to work.
Headline should be “Apple shunts OpenAI into the corner, chooses to roll their own”
