No transcripts in Voice Memos? The one feature I was surprised hasn‘t already been there for years, heavily rumored before this WWDC, and now nothing?

#92I thought it was underwhelming. The fact that integration with ChatGPT is not seamless pours cold water over it. Siri will seek your permission each time before passing the question to ChatGPT. I can avoid that step by using ChatGPT directly.
I think this is good. For folks like you, that will always be an option. For people that have yet to touch ChatGPT and "still don't know how to access AI" (I've heard this sentiment from many people that couldn't care less about it all) it's a perfect balance. Siri will operate as you expect, until one day it prompts you to pass your question over to ChatGPT. You can opt out or give it a try.
I do agree that the extra tap is a bummer for anyone that wanted ChatGPT baked into the OS, even easier to access than it is in the ChatGPT app.

From MacRumors:
> Notes can record and transcribe audio. When your recording is finished, Apple Intelligence automatically generates a summary. Recording and summaries coming to phone calls too.
So the functionality exists, maybe just not in the Voice Memos app?

#94I’m super confused.
1. What is under the “Apple Intelligence” umbrella and what isn’t? There were a lot of AI features shown before that branding was brought up, I think. 2. The only supported iPhone is the iPhone 15 Pro? But any M1 iPad? Does this mean “Apple Intelligence” or all AI features announced? For instance… 3. For instance, is private cloud compute only available on iPhone 15 Pro?

#95This on-device, private cloud compute, and tight hardware-software integration take may be first useful for all genAI we’ve seen so far. Apple may have actually nailed this one. Edit: except for image generation. That one sucks
> Edit: except for image generation. That one sucks Say more? it's just the media thing about intellectual property rights?
I asked up thread and people apparently have concerns about the IP and think that AI images often lack taste.

#96So they have models running on Apple silicone in the cloud, does that mean it’s running its own models?

But it has an on-device LLM plus an in-cloud LLM, that can handle many types of queries, so why would it be bad?

#98For a brief moment at the intro of "private cloud compute" I was so hopeful that I could have a home-based Mac server for my own private iCloud and "Apple intelligence".
Re: Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
#99It was a very quick mention, but Siri will now have a text button directly on the lock screen. If we assume AI will get even 3-4x better, at a certain point, I can't help but think this is the future of computing. Most users on mobile won't even need to open other apps. We really are headed for agents doing mostly everything for us.
Siri already has an optional text button on the lockscreen. They changed the shortcut though. For me in ios17 it's a long press on the side button.

#100This seems really cool. They said the models can scale to "private cloud compute" based on Apple Silicon which will be ensured by your device to run "publicly verifiable software" in order to guarantee no misuse of your data. I wonder if their server-side code will be open-source? That'd be positively surprising. Curious to see how this evolves. Anyway, overall looks really really cool. If it works as marketed, then…
For those curious, there is in fact a ChatGPT integration. The way it works is that when the on-device model decides "this could better be answered by chatgpt" then it will ask you if it should use that. They described it in a way which seems to indicate that it will be pluggable for other models too over time. Notably, ChatGPT 4o will be available for free without creating an OpenAI account.
I don't think that 4o will actually be available for free. It seemed like they were quite careful in choosing their words. My guess is 3.5 is free without an account, and accessing 4o requires linking your OpenAI account.
