Limitations and shortcomings of Petey AI

Users who have installed this intelligent app on their Apple Watch have highlighted a few areas for improvement:

  1. Replacing Siri with Petey via Apple shortcuts doesn't always work as intended. The app may stay silent or fail to recognize the owner's voice.
  2. The AI's music suggestions don't always align with the user's request. It appears the neural network sometimes follows its own tastes rather than the owner's.
  3. A ChatGPT Plus subscription doesn't automatically grant access to GPT-4 within the app. This has to be paid for separately.
  4. Petey doesn't function with all API keys. This is a requirement from OpenAI, separate from ChatGPT Plus.

Nevertheless, on the whole, the future of Petey AI seems promising. The developers are presently striving to make the app widely available, incorporating unique features such as a distinct API key and multilingual support. If OpenAI authorizes the integration of external apps, even more exciting possibilities for AI in wearable tech can be expected.
