So, an iPhone user will be able to access ChatGPT right from Siri. I’m a big fan of ChatGPT and use it almost daily, and when I do, it’s usually for a good length of time. I wonder if this is the thing that finally converts me to owning an iPhone.
It’s funny. Throughout high school and most of college, I was a loyal Mac user, much to the chagrin of my computer expert and Windows-using brother. It was a real challenge owning one or the other back then. For one, it was a big cost decision, and I’d argue a decent computer at that time would have cost around $1400. However, the big obstacle, unlike today, was that commonly used files like Word or PowerPoint (PDFs weren’t even a thing) weren’t cross-platform. What I mean by that is that if you created a Word file on a Mac, you couldn’t open it on your PC, or vice-versa. There were some instances where special programs would do that, but it was in its early stages, and you were taking the risk of losing a lot of work or only a portion of your work correctly crossing over. Once the internet became popular and your most well-used software started to work on both Windows and Mac (iOS wasn’t even a thing), that’s when sales and the adoption of Apple computers really took off. All of this started when Steve Jobs took over the reins of Apple in 1997. All that to say, if I had stayed loyal for maybe three or four more years, I don’t think I would have ever dabbled into anything Windows or Android-related. As of now, I feel so set in my ways that I don’t think I’ll ever buy an iPhone or a Mac. However, this collaboration with ChatGPT could change that.
If the Mavs don’t win tonight, they are toast. I’m actually going to be watching the game with a lovely lady I’ve been chatting with. We’re making it our first date. It’s crazy the stuff we have in common. Even our unusual professional careers have taken the same path.
I’ve looked at many sources for this story. They all imply the dog did something specific to alert other humans. All the dog did was run back home, and people noticed he was injured. I wish there was more to it than that, but that’s basically it. This isn’t a Lassie movie. Speaking of Lassie, I was more of a Benji person.
