OpenAI resembles the old Apple: ship the best experience. The ChatGPT app on every platform is the best in business and they are shipping polished features relatively quickly. It's quite the contrast to Apple of today, the world's largest company who is so inept that they are releasing Apple Intelligence, which is quite literally using ChatGPT 3.5 tech in 2025. It just shows how valuable CEO's like Altman, Musk and Jobs are to a corporation.

The "old" Apple certainly didn't ship anything quick or on the bleeding edge, nor did they ship the "best" experience. They did, however, have somewhat different priorities than their competitors. They still do to some extent.

Apple Intelligence is running on device instead of racks and racks of cloud hardware. Of course it’s less sophisticated.

  Yeah, but knowing that doesn't make it much better; it's the wrong design choice.

    Agreed. The vast majority of their audience doesn't understand the difference. And among the subset that do, I imagine there's a fair number of us that don't care about the distinction. I just want it to work well.

Indeed which makes me excited for.. Open AI creating an AI phone with Microsoft ... release H.E.R. (the movie) in your pocket. Your AI assistant / Agent is seen on the Lock Screen (like a FaceTime call UI/UX) waiting at your beckon to do everything for you /be there for via via text, voice, gestures, expressions, etc. It interfaces with other AI Agents of businesses, companies, your doctor, friends & family to schedule things & used as a knowledge-base (ask friends birthday if they allow that info). Apple is indeed stale & boring to me (heavy GPT user) in 2025.

The ChatGPT UI/UX is pretty middling. They still don't have a proper answer to Claude Projects, plus they are focusing on shipping stuff like this instead of fixing the numerous papercuts with the chat experience in their UI. How is it that I can access the most powerful AI on the planet with o1 pro, but if I paste more than few pages of text there's no solution for that, it just overflows the input box and makes it impossible to navigate?

    OpenAI projects don't work very well compared to Anthropic (which has its own limitations as is).

    ChatGPT's Projects feature has weird limitations I've run into. Features that work outside projects, do not necessarily work inside them. I say this as someone who prefers using ChatGPT over Claude, but pays for both. Hoping they figure it out. edit: restructured text to make sense.

    Only with 4o model which is lacking. Not with any of the o1 models. You also can't upload any documents, not even.txt files which is absurd.
