ChatGPT can now text on a Mac owner's behalf, and OpenAI stays quiet on data

OpenAI activated a feature on Thursday that hands ChatGPT the keys to Apple Messages on the Mac.

The AI assistant can read, search, draft, and send iMessage, SMS, and RCS texts on behalf of the user.

When connected, ChatGPT loads a user’s Messages inbox to sort, analyze, and edit texts.

It can dig up old information and draft replies or delete messages on command. ChatGPT can also summarize conversations and answer questions about them.
