| |||||||||||| 1 point by | I am using ChatGPT voice on my phone and it's great. It even understands greek (my language). But it's jailed inside the phone. Why? Why can't it control my phone? Is it technical? I don't think so. Is it security? I'll be happy to give OpenAI the keys to my phone if I had this feature. Can somebodhy explain to me why this isn't implemented yet? If people from OpenAI are reading this, implement it now and get my money!!! | ||||||||||| Applications are open till July 27. |
