The information reported that OpenAI is in talks with Snap to power one of their products. I wonder if OpenAI will release an AI-powered device in 2024 either by themselves or through an official partnership.
@Soli does it count if a company releases a device that uses chatgpt but there's no formal partnership (and it's plausible the company is just using the API)?
@Fay42 no this clearly would not count and already happened. As stated in the description:

If shipped, would this resolve the market?

@Amaryllis i skimmed over the article and i think no this would not suffice for three reasons
1) google’s default assistant will have access to priveleged apis and features
2) the devices won’t have chatgpt installed by default and users would first need to download the app
3) i feel this like making the argument that iPhones are released in partnerships with Google since they have google search as default engine 😅
Unfortunately, the ChatGPT app still wouldn’t be able to create custom hotwords or respond to existing ones, since that functionality requires access to privileged APIs only available to trusted, preinstalled apps. Still, given that Google will launch Assistant with Bard any day now, it makes sense that OpenAI wants to make it easier for Android users to access ChatGPT so that users don’t flock to Bard just because it’s easier to use.
@Amaryllis no, it just has to be powered by AI - for example meta glasses would qualify since AI is a critical part of the UX
@Soli thanks for clarification.
Does a smart phone running a chatGPT client qualify? I'm guessing not?
I am confused as to what "critical part of UX" means.
@Amaryllis example of devices that would qualify are smart speakers (alexa), smart glasses (meta glasses), ai pins (humane), etc.
