IOS 18.2 integration of chatGPT is a big disappointment

The integration of ChatGPT in IOS was much better before the ‘official integration.’

Previously, you could activate ChatGPT by saying, ‘Hey Siri, ask ChatGPT,’ and Siri would read the responses as if ChatGPT were powering Siri’s brain. You could even interrupt Siri mid-sentence, and it would stop and ask ChatGPT again. Even before advanced voice mode Siri would almost act like it had some kind of voice mode because it was interruptible.

Before this so-called ‘improvement,’ Siri was seamlessly integrated with ChatGPT and could directly use chatGPT as the thing controlling Siri responses.

Now, the system only displays text responses, making ChatGPT a burden to use on the iPhone when asking Siri a question. If this is the direction Apple AI is heading, it’s going to be a long and disappointing journey.

Anyone else testing this?

I’ve been trying to figure out how to use ‘voice mode’ in SIRI 18.2. Haven’t yet.

Yesterday when I tried to use it Siri read the reply.
Not sure if they made a change or not, I didn’t download a patch or anything.

It didn’t work that way at first. Hopefully it will continue to work.

It only works part of the time.

The integration is just poorly done.
