Maybe a naive question but I don't really understand the why of this? Why do I need ChatGPT in Apple Intelligence? Shouldn't Apple Intelligence just do what it's asked? Is that Apple saying it's Apple Intelligence isn't that good? Is this some business dealings I don't understand?

It sort of parallels setting a default browser on your phone. Do you want to use Safari or Chrome? Do you want to use Apple Intelligence or OpenAI? But that's really not what it is, because everything is still funneled through Apple, then to OpenAI.

I don't get it.

my understand is that apple intelligence aims to be a tiny model that runs locally, and when it identifies that a request is complex it sends it off to chatgpt

though it looks like this is just the first of many 'extensions' that can be added to apple intelligence
