As I understand it - the "Apple side" is all personal/private 
information relationships and the ChatGPT side is to bring in outside 
information.  If you think of it in terms of fusing the two, then things 
get quite powerful.

I've been using ChatGPT 2 sporadically over the last couple years and it 
is very good (as long as you check it).  4 / 4o should bring a hell of a 
lot more - even w/o the paywall version.

I'm not ChatGPT shy or averse - the more tools (and entertainment) I get 
the better.
