According to the news of August 21 ChatGPT Official account release, Apple Messages PluginsSupport has been provided for the connection with ChatGPT on Mac, where users can search for messages, review conversations and draft and send responses. This feature is now available in ChatGPTwork and Desktop Codex。
It also shows several ways of using it, such as searching for free time for dinner next week in conjunction with the calendar and responding to the designated contact; generating follow-up recommendations based on the information of the previous day; searching for birthdays from messages and adding them to the calendar; and identifying possible garbage messages to facilitate their removal。
ChatGPT's official account indicates that the user can install Messages plugins in "Plugins > Public". However, the official post does not further disclose the specific scope of authority of the plugin, the manner in which information is processed, and whether it supports the market in mainland China。
FOLLOWING THE PUBLICATION OF THE POST, SOME USERS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THEIR PRIVACY, FEARING THAT THE AI SERVICE MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO COMMUNITY CHATS AND PRIVATE MESSAGES MANY YEARS AGO, AND BELIEVE THAT THE SEARCH ITSELF REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT CAN BE SEARCHED OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN LONG CONVERSATIONS。
