Since the first rumors that Sam Altman was talking to Jony Ive and others about creating a ChatGPT hardware device, I’ve been saying the product will inevitably compete against the iPhone and Android handsets. Smartphones will obviously also become AI gadgets, so OpenAI will need something truly intriguing if ChatGPT hardware is going to replace our smartphones as opposed to complementing them.
Since then, Jony Ive confirmed that his company is involved in designing the mysterious product. Reports have been saying all along that Altman and Ive want to make the “iPhone of AI,” but we have no idea what type of form factor to expect. It won’t necessarily have to be a smartphone-like device. We could be looking at ChatGPT smart glasses or something else that we haven’t even considered.
But we no longer have to speculate that the first piece of ChatGPT hardware will compete against smartphones. Sam Altman finally said it out loud: OpenAI wants its ChatGPT hardware to “replace smartphones.”
