APPLE’S CHATGPT RIVAL MAY AUTOMATICALLY WRITE CODE FOR YOU

By Alex Blake June 27, 2023
Share

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT and Bing Chat have exploded in
popularity over the past year, yet industry titan Apple has remained
conspicuously quiet on the matter. Now, though, we might know what could be in
store for us if the Cupertino firm decides to launch its own AI chatbot.

In a recently granted patent (#US-11687830-B2), Apple explains how it could
infuse machine learning (ML) tech into its Xcode app, which may allow it to
automatically write code for developers. If successful, that could be a major
boost for app builders who work within Apple’s ecosystem — and could mean better
apps for users.

The patent notes that ML could be used to automatically complete lines of code,
check existing code for bugs, and more. These simple tasks alone could help save
developers a bunch of time.

Beyond that, though, Apple potentially sees its idea as removing barriers for
new developers who might not be familiar with how to set up the right software
and hardware in order to use ML models.

To that end, Apple’s patent explains how a new system could include ML models
“within an integrated software development environment” in a similar way as
familiar features like functions and classes. This would then allow the
developer to take advantage of all that ML goodness just as they would use a
regular library or class when coding, with no complicated setup required. In
other words, using machine learning to assist with your code would feel
instantly recognizable.


BUILT INTO XCODE

It sounds like Apple will embed its code-writing tool directly into the Xcode
app rather than release a standalone chatbot, much like how Adobe is building AI
tools right into Photoshop. It’s possible it could also find its way into other
Apple apps, perhaps providing a system-wide AI helper in the vein of Microsoft’s
Copilot.

The fact that AI tools like ChatGPT are easy to use and get to work quickly
means Apple’s idea could be seriously attractive to developers. Building it into
Xcode — an app developers use all over the world — means code writers wouldn’t
have to learn how to use an additional app to reap the benefits.

Speaking of benefits, though, those are far from guaranteed, and Apple’s
existing AI efforts are something of a mixed bag. The iPhone 14’s AI-assisted
photography skills are exceptional — Siri, famously, is not.

Still, you’d expect Apple to make a decent go of its AI code-writing bot given
how much money it has to throw at the problem. If you write a lot of code, watch
this space.

GPT-4: how to use the AI chatbot that puts ChatGPT to shame


People were in awe when ChatGPT came out, impressed by its natural language
abilities as an AI chatbot. But when the highly-anticipated GPT-4 large language
model came out, it blew the lid off what we thought was possible with AI, some
calling it the early glimpses of AGI (artificial general intelligence).

The creator of the model, OpenAI, calls it the company's "most advanced system,
producing safer and more useful responses." Here's everything you need to know
about it, including how to use it and what it can do.

Microsoft may have ignored warnings about Bing Chat’s unhinged responses


Microsoft's Bing Chat is in a much better place than it was when it released in
February, but it's hard to overlook the issues the GPT-4-powered chatbot had
when it released. It told us it wanted to be human, after all, and often broke
down into unhinged responses. And according to a new report, Microsoft was
warned about these types of responses and decided to release Bing Chat anyway.

According to the Wall Street Journal, OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT and the
GPT-4 model powering Bing Chat, warned Microsoft about integrating its early AI
model into Bing Chat. Specifically, OpenAI flagged "inaccurate or bizarre"
responses, which Microsoft seems to have ignored.

Apple CEO says he uses ChatGPT, weeks after Apple banned it


Apple had one of its largest WWDC keynotes in recent memory this year, with
monumental announcements like the new Vision Pro headset. But one area where
Apple was shockingly silent was AI, especially after the cascading rise of apps
like ChatGPT.

Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, said the company is being patient with AI for now in an
interview with Good Morning America. "I do think it's so important to be very
deliberate and very thoughtful in the development and the deployment of [Large
Language Models]," Cook said. "Because they can be so powerful that you worry
about things like bias, things like misinformation, maybe worse in some cases."
