'Perfectly fine' definitely doesn't mean 'usable' in my dictionary. But I see that perhaps the parent didn't mean to say that the web version can do everything the app does, so I have edited my comment to be less confrontational. Thanks.

Right. OP here, FWIW, in my colloquial English (right or wrong:) "Perfect" is, well, perfect; does everything I want and cannot be meaningfully improved. "Perfectly Fine" on the other hand, the key word is "fine". It is "eh. It mostly does the job. I cannot begrudge it too much. I have bigger things to rant about. It's perfectly fine." "Fine" is like "Nice". It's fine. It's nice. Note quite "Good", let alone "Amazing…

So 'fine' is better than 'perfectly fine'?

Tried this for few minutes, and it makes my phone run hot. Whats the CPU/GPu intensive work this app is doing on the device? I thought all the queries are sent to the server and no on device processing.

It's using whisper to do speech to text, which is a non-trivial amount of on device processing. At least that's why I think it's heating up my phone, because that was the first thing I wanted to try.

Yeah I think these new models are going to burn through your battery like dried leaves, even if you have the very latest phones. I ran a reduced Vicuna on my 14 Pro and it heated up very quickly.

I love my iPhone but god damn does apple suck at a number of things. It’s 2023, and they have a terabyte of storage but they won’t store more than 100 numbers in your call history. Like what.

My favourite is that giving in and clicking the “open in app” banners on Reddit etc just take me to the App Store page for Reddit, even though I have the actual app installed already.

You have to long-press on the link and press 'Open in "Reddit"'. Not sure why.

I spent an hour writing a small Signal bot, and I've had ChatGPT on my phone for ages. The experience is the best out of any client I've used, as it's just a chat. I prefer it over a full fledged app.

Pardon my ignorance but I sort of assumed that was reddit's fault because I can't name a single other site/service I use that does that. I guess that's not the case?

How about being able to edit a copied phone number? Like maybe I want to add a country code? No, the only way to do it is to make a new contact and then edit it? Ok… Or how about search a pdf on my phone? Really? I can’t? Huh… so random…

The inability to add mp3 files to music in the phone is ridiculous. Round-tripping through "Files" or whatever when I can't quickly access my computer is just so obnoxious.

I can't help but add... Please let me set the snooze timeout on alarms. Hard coded to seven minutes, really?

Have they fixed "an unattended iPhone alarm rings... forever" yet? I'm sure that's probably lead to disaster on more than one occasion. Imagine someone forgets an iPhone living next door to a shift worker? Alarm goes off and... never stops.

> P.S. Android users, you're next! ChatGPT will be coming to your devices soon. I'm getting a good chuckle out of this. The thought-leaders have been warning us that large language models will put 99% of professionals out of work and will threaten the nature of human existence... and yet today's leading LLM apparently can't be used to generate code for a boilerplate user interface using the Android SDK.

Or Flutter?

Ironically, ChatGPT is very good at that.
