True, this will not only be replicated by Google, Apple, Amazon and Facebook, but also by open-source. OpenAI has a short window of exclusivity. Nobody can afford to wait now, after reading the Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence paper I am convinced it is proto-AGI. Just read the math section, coding and tool use. I've read thousands of papers and never have I seen one like this.

The question is how fast can you replicate it?

People will use the best solution. Chrome came after firefox and ie and opera and become more populare because it was better.

I am curious how Apple will approach it. They have historically valued 100% certainty with Siri above all else, even if it means having an extremely limited feature set. If there is even a tiny chance it might do the wrong thing, they don't even enable the capability.

I don't see how they can ignore this though. But at the same time it goes against all of Apple's culture to allow the kind of uncertainty that comes out of LLMs.

It’s not “trivial” because of the cost per query. As far as Google, it doesn’t even have access to the most valuable phone users without paying Apple $18B+ a year.
