“This question will resolve to YES if Apple continues to substantially use OpenAI services for ChatGPT-esque uses“

What happens if (this to me seems like the most likely scenario) ChatGPT is still available as an option but the standard is something different? How would you resolve then? (I‘d assume NO, but asking to be sure.)

(I.e. think of the “standard browser“ for iOS, which is historically Safari, but the EU demands it to be open. Right now the “standard ChatGPT-esque LLM“ is ChatGPT of course.)

@JonathanMannhart I read it as a much lower bar than commanding the standard or default, since "continues to substantially use" doesn't require it to be that, just that it isn't "replaced or substantially replaced" so as long as it's still an option (and thus "still partnered") is a YES imo.

Note nowhere in the description is the word or concept of "standard" mentioned.

@deagol

“Partnered“ is an extremely strong word.

If OpenAI merely contributes their model among a range of options, that‘s not what one would call “partnered“. DuckDuckGo is an option for the default browser. Apple and DuckDuckGo are not partnered.

I guess the crux is “substantial“, which I would read as Apple needing to grant OpenAI some sort of preferential treatment over other options.

(Of course, one can also argue that, because the iPhone is such a massive platform, even 0.1% of it is “substantial“, i.e. Apple is substantially using DuckDuckGo as a browser service for iOS. But that doesn’t seem like the spirit of the question.)

Reading the last paragraph of the description again, it seems fairly clear that if another service replaces ChatGPT “substantially“, so is used/pushed more in total by Apple (would be my interpretation), it resolves NO. When exactly “substantial“ is fulfilled seems to be up to Campbell to decide.
