Here is the shortcut. Add it to your phone and get the api key and paste it 
into it.

How to Use Siri as an AI-Powered Chatbot with OpenAI's ChatGPT


Are you dissatisfied with the limitations of Siri when it comes to answering 
your questions? Good news: There’s a new solution available. Developer Yue Yang 
has developed a shortcut that enables you to convert Apple's voice assistant 
into an intelligent AI assistant that leverages the capabilities of OpenAI 

 . To use this feature, all you need is a device that supports Siri and an 
active OpenAI account.

A recent discovery by BGR shows that users can now use a shortcut to integrate 
Apple's Siri with OpenAI's ChatGPT. Instead of replacing Siri with ChatGPT, the 
shortcut allows Siri to transfer users' queries to ChatGPT and provide them 
with answers from the AI chatbot. Developer Yue Yang notes that since the 
shortcut links ChatGPT and Siri, it can be used on various devices equipped 
with Siri, such as iPhones, iPads, and Macs. To use this shortcut, you will 
need to have an OpenAI account, which you can create by visiting the official 
website. Once you have an account, you can access your API key by visiting a 
specific page or through your profile and clicking on the option to create a 
new secret key.

API keys serve as a crucial tool for developers to connect various services for 
a particular user. In the case of using ChatGPT  

 with Siri, these keys act as the identifiers required to grant Siri the 
authority to operate ChatGPT. If you have made it this far, it is apparent that 
this process is not as straightforward as downloading an app from the App 
Store. Nonetheless, it is not overly complicated either.

After obtaining your API key, the next step is to download the latest version 
of the shortcut created by Yue Yang from their GitHub page using the Apple 
device you wish to use with ChatGPT. As of this writing, version 1.2 is the 
most recent. Once you open the shortcut on your device, it will prompt you for 
your API key information. After you enter it, you will need to select a 
specific phrase to activate your ChatGPT-enhanced Siri instead of the regular 
Siri. It's important to note that this shortcut only works with English 
language inputs. While this process may seem a bit complicated, it's not much 
more involved than downloading an app from the App Store.

Once you have set up your ChatGPT 
 -powered Siri, you 
can use it to communicate with the AI chatbot and even customize specific 
commands. Yue Yang has made it possible to access all of ChatGPT's features and 
personalize your new assistant by setting its personality. On GitHub, the 
developer suggests that you can configure your Siri to be a joker, a writer, a 
chef, or any other persona you choose. The possibilities for customization are 
limitless.

The shortcut created by Yue Yang is an exciting way to breathe new life into 
Siri and enhance its capabilities by leveraging the power of ChatGPT. By 
following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily set up ChatGPT as 
a virtual assistant to help with a range of tasks and answer any questions you 
might have. While the setup process may seem daunting at first, it is a 
straightforward process that can be completed with a few simple steps. With 
ChatGPT, Siri has the potential to become a smarter and more versatile voice 
assistant, and users can enjoy a whole new level of interaction

I don’t think it works with automation yet. It just summons chat gpt right now. 
It’s like typing on the chat GPT’s website, but with siri requests. Pull up 
siri, say the shortcut (in my case super siri,)  ask whatever you want. I’ll do 
a recording later today.

So how does this affect regular Siri requests for home automation devices, 
replying to a text message and so on? If you have it set up, could you post a 
recording as to what you can do with it?

Do other apps have this 1 finger triple tap option?

First, if it looks the same, it didn’t update.

 

The shortcut to get to the updates page is to do a one finger triple tap on the 
App store icon.

This brings up a menu of choices.  Updates is one of them.

Once on  that screen, the available updates will be near the bottom of the 
screen, but they may not show up automagically, so do a three finger swipe down 
to refresh the screen.

I checked for app updates and was shocked to find BARD 2.0 is already in the 
app store.

I think the new system works great.

The search is at the top and searching for an author seems to get just that 
author and not any combination of the first and last name, etc.

 

Here is what the update says:

Version 2.0 includes a number of new features, including in-app search 
capabilities: -Search inputs are more intuitive. Author search supports First 
Name, Last Name format; Last Name, First Name; and Last Name only. Quotation 
marks are no longer required. For example, input “Mary Clark” (without 
quotations) to find all the Mary Higgins Clark titles. -Keyword search supports 
searching all indexed metadata and can help users looking for multiple 
criteria. For example, to find a Terri Pratchett book narrated by Nick DePinto, 
a user can simply input “dePinto Terri“ (without quotations). -After a user 
inputs a search, they can amend the search type, the inputted term itself, or 
the format (audio or braille), and sort results alphabetically by author, 
title, or latest publication date. -In-app search now includes NLS Music 
collection holdings, allowing users to access the variety of musical 
appreciation and biography books, scores, and music instructional titles.  
-Users can switch between audio and braille searches. For example, input “learn 
guitar” (without quotation marks) with the search defaults to find audio 
instructional titles, then select the braille format and the search button 
again to find braille titles. Version 2.0 also includes enhancements to 
searching and sorting Bookshelf and Get Books listings. Bug fixes include: 
-Rewind controls skipping further than intended -Sideloading books  
-Downloading and reading non-ASCII foreign language book titles

That is simply speculation at this point, it is probably more likely they would 
come up with under-screen Touch Id which means that you put your finger on a 
certain area of the screen and that the scanner is embedded under the screen 
and it will read your finger print that way.

I think that is ultimately what I’m going to do. Sure, I could wait and see 
what the new galaxy S 22 ultra will look like sometime next spring, but sadly I 
need a phone and I need one that works now. I have two kids presently in school 
and more often than not I’m having issues with the current device I am using 
just to get by until I can get a new phone. I’m missing more calls than not 
these days, and that just cannot happen. Not for business and certainly not for 
my kids schools. The more research I’m doing presently as I write this and the 
more information I am gathering just from people on this list, I’m really 
feeling that the iPhone 13 promax is going to be my best bet. I will probably 
wind up having to wait though because the capacity that I want of the device, 
either 512 GB or 1 TB, are both back ordered.

Importance: High

 

Hello,

 

I’ve been both an IPhone and Android user respectively over the past ten years 
– first IPhone from November of 2011 to June of 2013, then again for a brief 
period from June of 2014 through January of 2015; and Android first from June 
of 2013 through June of 2014, then January of 2015 through to present day.  
Most people who have known me during the last few years and even earlier back 
into the late 2000’s with the late Windows Mobile devices will recall I usually 
am one of the ones who does her research and helps others out with their 
issues.  Now though, it’s me who could use a little help.

 

I’m doing some research and don’t want to miss anything like I did six years 
ago.  I want to research the differences between the most high-end IPhone 13 
Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy equivalent, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G.
Both are 5G capable devices, both come in the storage capacities I’m interested 
in.  Specifically I’m looking at the following:

 

1.   Battery life:  In looking at the two devices, I have found several 
differing writeups on the internet claiming either of the devices is better 
than the other, but not giving any real specifics from the viewpoint of a user 
who uses accessibility features such as VoiceOver on IOS and TalkBack on 
Android.  I want to know which of these devices’ batteries is more long-lasting 
with the use of the accessibility features running.  If anyone has information 
about the battery usage without the accessibility features running as well, so 
much the better.  I can make an even better-informed decision at the end of the 
day.

2.   RAM/Processor speed:  I’m looking specifically at RAM/processor speed 
and how fast each device measures up in a truly fair comparison.  Which of 
these devices will ultimately be able to be used and not lag too much both with 
and/or without the accessibility features running?  I’ve also read differing 
opinions on this and with each of these devices being named the truly better 
device.  I’d like to see how much of what I’ve discovered thus far is fact as 
opposed to fiction as opposed to simple preference and opinion but not based on 
facts of device performance.

3.   Storage:  While internal capacity on both devices is equivalent in so 
far as I can get, I believe, the capacity internally I want on each of these 
two devices, I don’t believe there’s too much to compare here since it is my 
understanding that the slot for the MicroSD Card on the Samsung Galaxy S21 
Ultra and going forward is being or has finally truly been done away with.  I 
did do some research and so far have found some differing opinions on this of 
whether the forthcoming Galaxy S22 Ultra will or will not ultimately have the 
SD Card slot.  Either way, it doesn’t make too much a difference to me, as if I 
can get either of these devices in 512 GB or even better the 1TB internal 
capacity, then I won’t have much need for memory expansion.  I already have 
cloud storage with both Apple and Google, and can access my google cloud 
storage from Apple if the need should arise and I run out of my ICloud storage 
(highly unlikely).

 

Six years ago I got what I was told clearly by someone looking to make a sale 
that the IPhone 5S was the equivalent to the Samsumg Galaxy S5 device in every 
way, shape, and form.  This was proven to be false, as I would later find 
within three weeks of owning the IPhone 5S, the speed of the device/reaction 
time was less than half that of the Samsung Galaxy S5.  Keep in mind, this was 
six years ago, and things in both camps have changed significantly since then.

 

I’m with T-Mobile now by default, as Sprint was bought out by them, and 
eventually everything that hasn’t as of yet will be switched completely over to 
T-Mobile.  Ultimately, I’m looking to upgrade my phone for a couple reasons.

 

First, I’m buying my current Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G device outright and 
will be giving it, temporarily, to my husband who needs a 5G device and has 
zero trade-in value for his current device, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Ultra.

last email went through. 

 

Thanks!

Anthony,

 

It seems you have gotten the punctuation option set to “all.”

 

There are at least two ways to correct this:

 

1) Check to see if the rotor has the punctuation setting included.  If so, you 
will likely see it has been set to “all” in which case simply flick up or down 
until it identifies the level of punctuation you prefer.

 

2) You can likewise open “Settings,” locate the Accessibility option, select 
the VoiceOver button (this will not turn VO off, but rather open an additional 
dialog where you will find the “Speech” button wherein (I believe) the 
punctuation level can likewise be adjusted to your liking.

That TMobile ads is for MLB TV, so you get access to all the TV broadcasts as 
well as the radio.  Regular price I think for that is around $120 per year.

But, you can get MLB audio, for just the radio broadcast and the occasional

RE: Instacart question

[corykad]

If you don't see the option from within the Instacart store when you open it, I 
don't think it's possible. I just did it the other day with a Wegman's shoppers 
club card, and it was very easy. When you open the store's page, you should see 
something like save money by entering xx card where xx is the name of whatever 
card you're adding.

Hi, I have a question regarding Instacart. I have both a Hy-Vee you where I 
live and to Sam’s Club. I see where I can add what I believe is my Sam’s Club 
membership card. Is this process accessible? Also, does anyone know if there’s 
a way to somehow add my Hy-Vee fuel saver card so that if I purchase items that 
give me money off gasoline I can get the credit and get the money off the next 
time my family and I fill up the car?
Thanks,

Under Settings, Accessibility, VoiceOver, Typing, Typing feedback, set it to 
either characters, or characters and words and you should hear what you delete. 
 If you have it on nonthing or words, you will not hear each character deleted.

Yes, this also means you hear the character as you write, and sometimes that is 
misleading because if you use contracted braille, the immediate feedback may be 
the single character and not the contracted meaning, but it is easy to get used 
to it.

Hi all,

 

Using a braille display, if you attempt to erase characters, they aren’t read 
out as you do so. When using a braille display, this isn’t a big problem 
because you can physically see what you’re erasing. If using an Orbit Writer, 
this presents a huge annoyance because you don’t know what’s been erased. I’ve 
reported this to apple since august. 

 

Anyone have a work around for this? If not, I encourage you all to report this 
so it gets fixed. It makes using the Orbit Writer almost impossible.

RE: Does anyone use the Apple battery case?

[corykad]

Hi,

 

If I remember correctly, it does come with a protector.

 

There is no switch on the device You just charge it, and it depletes it’s 
battery before the phone’s battery takes over.

How do you know when the apple case needs recharged?  Do you have to turn it on 
when your phone dies?  Does it come with a screen protector?

aHi Kimberly,

I’ve used the Apple Smart Battery Case for years and I swear by it. Yes, it 
does add considerable heft to the phone, and, because I often carry my phone in 
my pants pocket along with keys, a nail clipper and assorted change from time 
to time, the satiny rubber covering can get kinda thrashed, but the case works 
like a champ. If I drop the phone it will usually land on its back because of 
the way the battery’s situated, so the case offers some good protection. Even 
the beveled edge of the case which is about 1/16 inch above the phone’s front 
face will keep the front glass from taking a direct hit. When you use the case, 
the battery in the case is discharged first, then the phone’s battery is 
engaged. 

My first battery case was a Mophie Juice Pack which worked well but was 
considerably bulkier than the Apple case. I liked the Apple’s form factor 
better so I switched.

Hope this helps.

Tom

Hi everyone,

I love the Apple battery cases, but I have had problems with the case for the 
iPhone 7. This is the case the Apple store sold me to be used with the iPhone 
8, as they are the same size. My first case lasted nine months and then started 
to charge very sporadically. The cable would charge the phone by itself, but 
not the case whether the phone was in it or not. So I went through the 
replacement process as this was still under warranty. I got a replacement, same 
model of case. My replacement lasted 3 months and then started to have the same 
charging problems as the first case. I made arrangements to send it back and 
get a new one as it was still under warranty. But then I charged the case for 
about 16 hours and it worked, so I canceled the return.  then it stopped 
charging, just like the first case. Again, the cable worked with the phone by 
itself, so the problem was not the charging cable. I then gave up as I was 
pretty sure I had passed the warranty time.

So, speaking for the iPhone  7 Apple battery case, I love it but I don’t trust 
its reliability. I hope the cases for other models do not have this problem. 
Right now, I am using a cheap battery case and it is currently working.

Hope this is useful.
