Recent Developments about ChatGPT

Integration of ChatGPT with iOS 18

According to 9to5Mac, Apple is reaching an agreement with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT’s functionality into the upcoming iOS 18. This collaboration will empower iPhone users to leverage the powerful capabilities of ChatGPT to enhance their AI experience. While specific integration details have not been disclosed yet, it is anticipated to be a major highlight of iOS 18.

Addition of Memory Feature to ChatGPT

OpenAI announced the introduction of a memory feature for ChatGPT aimed at improving user experience. This new feature allows ChatGPT to remember user preferences and context, thereby providing more relevant responses in subsequent conversations. Users can manage these memories in settings, including viewing, deleting specific memories, or clearing all memories. This enhancement not only reduces the need for repetitive input of information but also makes ChatGPT’s responses more personalized and useful.

Decrease in User Engagement

Despite continuous enhancement of ChatGPT’s functionality, recent data shows a decline in user engagement. According to Engadget, ChatGPT’s user usage duration decreased by 8.5% in May 2023. This decline may be attributed to the end of the academic year, reduced student usage, and restrictions on the use of AI tools by businesses. Nonetheless, OpenAI does not express excessive concern about this trend, as the operation cost of running ChatGPT is extremely high, and a decrease in usage might actually lower operational burdens.
