What is better: Apple Intelligence or ChatGPT? Considering the barebones state that Apple Intelligence is currently in, I would say ChatGPT is the better AI. However, Apple Intelligence has the advantage of being more privacy-focused. Thankfully, the way ChatGPT is integrated into iOS allows you to maintain a bit more privacy since you don’t need a ChatGPT account to use it. So, what can you do with Apple’s ChatGPT integration?
Before you begin, make sure you know how to use ChatGPT in iOS 18.2.
- You can ask Siri to write poems or other passages of text for you. When you make your request, select Use ChatGPT.

- ChatGPT will process your request.

- And then you’ll see the result! Tap the copy button to copy the text to your clipboard for easy sharing.

- You can also ask Siri to generate images using ChatGPT. In my experience, you have to explicitly say, “Use ChatGPT to generate an image of…” or else Siri will just do a web image search. Keep in mind that phrasing the request this way will bypass the ChatGPT confirmation screen, which means Siri will use ChatGPT without asking you first.

- Tap the save button to save the image to your iPhone.

- There is also a Suggested by ChatGPT section which you can use to add more details or change certain aspects of the text.

There is so much that ChatGPT can do with this new system-level integration that it’s impossible to cover it all in a single article. I highly recommend experimenting with this tool to see how it can help you. If you don’t already have it enabled, find out how to use Genmoji on iOS 18.
