The interesting point/question in this is whether Open AI will invest in hardware to build a ChatGPT interface in the future that allows for less friction of use than just “being an app on an IPhone”. I think it’s amazing and would be so cool to see a new device people use that has function that hasn’t been totally defined yet. The IPhone is so mature it’s time for the next thing!

Even just the free iPhone app with free-tier GPT3 is better than Apple offers with Siri (low bar, but still) in many regards. Imagine that built out, and given system-level access to your phone tools, emails, calendar, and your smart-home tech (as Siri has) - there's so much potential there.

(I'm not sure I like the idea, as at this point I have no reason to trust OpenAI with my personal data, but it's undeniable that the potential is there.)

Have you seen the tab being worked upon by Avi Schiffman. Seems like a interesting concept.

Seems like an open-source hardware concept device to address privacy concerns would also be quite successful. Could be kickstarted.
Didn't they hire Jony Ive? I suspect something is in the pipeline...
