How to Get ChatGPT on Your Apple Watch

[MacRumors]

OpenAI's ChatGPT conversational chatbot is taking the tech industry by storm, and now you can ask it things right on your wrist, thanks to a new app for Apple Watch called Petey.

If you haven't been keeping up, ChatGPT is a next-generation language model that understands and generates human-like response to natural language input. The chatbot is trained on a large corpus of text corralled from the internet, so it can answer a wide variety of questions and generate coherent responses to many different types of prompts.

What the Petey app does is that it allows you to query OpenAI's chatbot by either typing questions into your Apple Watch or using voice-to-text input. What's more, it's a conversational experience, so you can continue to interact with the chatbot in the context of the queries you've already put to it.

Petey comes with a watch face complication that makes it very easy to access without having to navigate your apps to open it. That makes it a handy alternative to asking questions of Siri, which nine times out of ten returns a series of web results that get sent to your iPhone anyway.

If you have a query but all you have to hand is your watch, Petey can provide an answer to your question, and the responses are often far more impressive than any digital assistant is capable of. You can even have the answers read out loud with Text to Speech, and you can share the outcome of your interaction via text, email, or social media.

Previously called watchGPT (the name was dropped because of trademark issues) and developed by Hidde van de Ploeg, Petey is currently priced at $4.99 and is available on the App Store. The app requires watchOS 9, so it should work on Apple Watch Series 4 and newer models, and it currently supports 14 different languages, with more set to be added over time.

(Looking to access ChatGPT from your Mac's menu bar? There's an app for that, too.)

I just can't imagine the need or desire for this. We know chatGPT is biased to only provide what our overlords want us to know. Are people really that lazy that they cannot look up info themselves and can therefore judge its reliability and value?

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Why would anyone want ChatGPT on an Apple Watch? This seems like this would give me a massive headache. 😭😭

I've been using Petey for a couple of days now, and it's a pretty good user experience.

Good to have the ability to fall back on it in a pinch.

Where do you see a keyboard?

Yeesh. My overlords better be giving me the knowledge on how to make a jelly filled donut at home, or else I'm ditching chatGPT...

Just installed it. So now we have Commander Data from Star Trek: TNG on our wrists, able to answer virtually any question in context in under five seconds. Astonishing.

This was exactly my thought lol, I do not see the appeal for having it on my watch and I'm not someone who is against ChatGPT overall. I find it to be an incredibly useful tool, but just cannot see why I would want to use it on the go on my watch. Now if Siri had similar "smarts" to a LLM like ChatGPT now we're talking! Would love to be able to ask Siri to do things in a truly conversational manner and have her just 'get it'.

I wholeheartedly agree! Why, when I was a young man and I needed answers, I'd spend hours Googling to find something usable. A "quick" Google search for how to fix a problem on my iPhone would requiring scouring obscure (and often shady) tech articles, watching overly long YouTube videos, and reading through rambling, barely-coherent forum posts just to get a halfway-decent answer.

These darn kids today are so soft, relying on these newfangled ChatGPT gizmos to get simple, coherent, straightforward answers in seconds instead of wasting countless hours of their lives Googling their way to vaguely usable information like the good lord and Sergey Brin intended. Now tell them to get off my lawn! 👴

You can send the response to yourself. So if if you have an important thought / task to do while around, you can get a ChatGPT answer and send it to yourself for later use (I rarely carry my phone these days; only when I drive - to use AppleCar).

No and no.

No snark here, but I'm curious about the "We know..." part of your comment. Beyond suppositions, how exactly do we know this?

 

[Macalway]

Great, but for that terrible icon. Could they do worse?

Change. Is. Scary. Change is constant.

For the few times I need something on watch would rather use the default Siri that hears automatically what I say. I read the reviews on this app it sounds like something like this may happen but not for near future. Plus another $5 for something I would seldom use other than a cute app at moment. I would prefer to sit down on iphone/ipad/macbook and type out a specific search to do or look something up. will pass for now.

 

[pauloregan]

What could be more apt for the Apple Watch. Getting pretend instructions and waffle on a device people pretend is more useful than it is to justify the expense of buying it in the first place.

Don't you need to know how to build a treehouse using your Apple watch?
I"ve been waiting so long for this!

User: Hey ChatGPT, why would anyone want you on an Apple Watch?

ChatGPT: Well Siri has been giving free headaches since 2011, I know my rights.

Wanha, how do we know you're not AI? Seriously, I just saw an article that said AI scored very high on the bar exam.

Bar exam score shows AI can keep up with 'human lawyers,' researchers say

Artificial intelligence can now outperform most law school graduates on the bar exam, the grueling two-day test aspiring attorneys must pass to practice law in the United States, according to a new study released Wednesday.

The fact that a recent report exposed that the chatbot was programmed to view things in an unbelievably biased viewpoint and presents everything from that slant is very circumspect, and to be honest, very dangerous.

This article is coming from the New York Times and not some right wing source. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/08/technology/ai-chatbots-disinformation.html

It seems like it could be useful in written exams.

Having a healthy skepticism of a brand new technology is not being a luddite.

ChatGPT is not just another app. Its a whole different beast. Although this particular app does not collect data, yet, we need to make sure they do not become autonomous.
