ChatGPT in Siri 'Persistently Underperforming,' Says OpenAI
MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- OpenAI reported disappointing results from its integration of ChatGPT into Apple's Siri, with user adoption hindered by a complicated opt-in process and underperformance noted by early 2025.
- Despite OpenAI requesting a two-year exclusivity period, Apple refused, maintaining a non-exclusive agreement that allowed it to integrate multiple AI providers, including Google’s Gemini models.
- OpenAI's court filings counter Elon Musk’s xAI lawsuit claims, emphasizing that the contract explicitly forbids exclusivity and that the ChatGPT integration did not significantly impact xAI’s growth or customer acquisition.
- Expert analysis presented by OpenAI indicates that the market foreclosure effect from the Siri integration was minimal, with very low user engagement through Apple Intelligence, contradicting claims of substantial competitive harm.
- Much of the detailed information in the filings remains redacted, including discussions between Apple and OpenAI, but the overall narrative highlights underwhelming performance and a lack of exclusivity in the partnership.
