Petey, the ChatGPT app that you should utilize on each iPhone and Apple Watch, obtained one more improve right this moment (April 24), the place it may create playlists and add songs for you, proper inside Apple Music.
Since its debut in February, it is develop into one of the vital frequent methods to entry OpenAI’s device on Apple’s cell units with out requiring to join an account. It is nonetheless a matter of shopping for the app for $4.99 / £4.99 (opens in new tab) and asking Petey a bunch of random questions.
With the newest 2.1 replace, it goes one step, two steps, a spin, and a moonwalk additional, the place you’ll be able to ask it to be your individual DJ while you’ve gotten bored of Apple Music’s personal machine studying playlists.
We have spoken with its developer, Hidde van der Ploeg earlier than about creating Petey and the place he sees the ChatGPT service going, particularly with WWDC 2023 on the horizon. Nevertheless, these updates are making Siri and different assistants extra irrelevant with each replace, and extra enjoyable to make use of.
When TLC and ChatGPT met
But once more, it is a easy affair in Petey 2.1 – we requested it to provide us a playlist of all of the UK Quantity One hits from 1999, and in a single fell swoop, after enabling the characteristic, gave us an Apple Music playlist of each observe – from Cher to Westlife.
Across the time of Apple Music’s launch in 2015, you may ask Siri what the Quantity One observe within the charts was, and it might not solely precisely reply this, however play the observe in query. For some motive, Apple switched this off just a few years later, and it is one other instance the place ChatGPT not solely does this very request, however higher.
Whereas Petey provides the choice so as to add this to Apple Music, it might be nice to discover a manner for this to be executed for Spotify and different music suppliers too. The conditions for this converse for themselves – in the event you’re in the midst of internet hosting a celebration, for instance, you may shortly ask Petey to rustle up a playlist to set the temper, particularly if there is a theme for this social gathering.
Nevertheless it’s solely the beginning of what Petey and ChatGPT could possibly be able to. The identical may apply to watching documentaries, for instance, crawling by way of movies on YouTube and giving a outcome for the perfect Star Trek documentary.
Time will inform if Ploeg is ready to implement one thing like this, however after the fast tempo of updates to the app in current weeks, it might be a matter of when, not if the following massive use for AI in our each day lives comes alongside.Â
