Apple user here. Can confirm. My excuse is that Apple knows its shit and I am at the period of my life where just thinking about SUDO gives me allergy. So, as long as I do not have to deal with that shit, I am OK paying for this shit. Hell, I am paying for ChatGPT so that it does internet search for me and summarizes the results for me. My time is more valuable for me than dealing with that shit.
Not suggesting that my way is right way. Many people do like to play with that shit, customize it, fine tune. Those are not users for apple ecosystem. To each their own shit. It is nice to have a choice of shit.
I’m not a part of the apple ecosystem, but i have the same attitude towards tech these days. I dont want to be spending time debugging and tuning stuff just to get it working. Tech is tools, that shit just needs to work, fuck tinkering with everything just to get it working properly.

Does ChatGPT even do this? I thought it was trained on a closed data set from 2021. While it can learn new things through conversation, it doesn’t actually search the internet anymore. Right? It’s literally just predictive text on your phone. It’s supposed to make you feel like it’s answering you but it’s all smoke & mirrors.
The paid version does that. The data set is expanded to sometime in 2023 and it actually browses internet when needed using bing as search engine. It does lots of other interesting things, such as uses Dall-E to draw images when needed, or uses python and executes the code in background when needed (but you can check it). For example, if you ask a numerical question that requires solution of equations, it will do it in python. An example of such question I recently asked is “at what temperature the value in Kelvin and Fahrenheit is the same?”
I used Linux at home and work for 15 years - 1998 through 2013 - and finally I was Jesus fucking Christ, I don’t want to spend 5 hours configuring a video card ever again, and bought a MacBook. It’s funny these days seeing people “I USE ARCH BRO” because I know I could but I just don’t get enjoyment out of it these days. Same with phones. I couldn’t give less of a fuck about rooting my phone or running a custom ROM.
