It is quite likely that on your mobile device, be it Android or iOS, you use the relevant virtual assistant which you can invoke with an activation phrase to help you with a series of tasks, such as opening a specific application or setting an alarm.
However, with the advent of different artificial intelligence models, these virtual assistants of yesteryear it seems that they are no longer as valid as before, they could even end up being replaced by some new ones.
In fact, there is evidence in the ChatGPT application code, specifically in version 1.2023.352, that indicates that it would be possible to configure this AI model as the mobile device’s default assistant app.
Currently so that ChatGPT work, you have to open the application and stay in it, however, current virtual assistants such as Google’s or apple‘s Siri do not need to open any application for them to work, and they are simply activated with an activation phrase.
Perhaps in the future we can invoke ChatGPT simply with an activation phrase, and without having to open the application, and with this it could practically become our first option when it comes to virtual assistants.
However, although there is a reference to this in the aforementioned code, at the moment there is nothing about it and the feature does not even work.
It’s unclear if this code will ever be made official and what both Google and Apple might think about it.
