Android users could soon replace Google Assistant with ChatGPT

You can already somewhat do that with iOS and Shortcuts if you have the chatgpt app. But as OP says, it’s only to talk to. Can’t use it to set a timer or reminder. It’s neat but a lot of my voice assistant stuff is “call X person” or “reply to X”. If I want to talk to chatgpt, I usually open the app and turn on voice for a session.

If ChatGPT can weasel itself into a true assistant with the ability to perform certain actions, then it might be a game changer for the voice assistant space. It’s so much better at understanding context than current assistants on your local device.

its one of the use-cases that AI truly makes sense in to me, because it feels like voice assistant technology has really plateau'd, and an LLM seems like a good way to process natural language
