With a fair amount of system integration (no wake word available) missing, of course. Which rather sounds like a feature.
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
