ChatGPT now lives in your Apple Messages: hope you like AI oversharing
OpenAI just dropped a plugin that lets ChatGPT read, write, and delete your texts. Because what could possibly go wrong with handing over your entire digital social life to a hallucinating chatbot that barely knows what day it is?
The new OpenAI plugin for Apple Messages allows users to link their chat history directly to the LLM. It functions across the standard ChatGPT interface as well as Codex and ChatGPT Work, turning the bot into a glorified personal secretary that never sleeps and occasionally makes things up.
The plugin enables the AI to sort, summarize, and edit your private conversations. Users can even prompt the bot to draft replies based on previous day's context or hunt for specific buried information within long-running threads. It effectively turns the chat window into a query engine for your personal life.
While OpenAI insists the tool processes data locally and avoids creating a master index of your entire digital history, they are still sweating bullets over privacy. The company explicitly warns against disabling the 'confirm before send' feature, noting that doing so removes the last line of defense against the bot accidentally texting your boss or your ex about things you definitely didn't mean to say.
The dream of a seamless digital assistant has officially collided with the reality of human social consequences. Giving an algorithm the keys to the kingdom of private messaging is the kind of bold technological experiment that usually results in either incredible productivity or a career-ending text disaster. It seems humanity has finally decided that the convenience of an automated reply is worth the risk of a catastrophic social glitch.
