ChatGPT on iMessage: Convenience vs. Privacy Concerns

ChatGPT can now read and answer your iMessages for you. OpenAI has added Apple Messages support to its macOS desktop app. This allows ChatGPT to read, draft, send, and summarize messages. Here's the thing: The feature requires user permission and runs locally on your Mac. However, some users still have privacy concerns about AI accessing private conversations. What's interesting is that many Android and Windows users feel left behind. They note that OpenAI seems to prioritize Apple and macOS for new features. For example, OpenAI recently introduced "Computer History" for Mac users, which tracks device activity. The bottom line: While this new feature offers convenience for macOS users, it raises questions about privacy and equitable feature releases across different operating systems.
