According to Bloomberg, Apple has been in negotiations with Google (Gemini) and OpenAI (ChatGPT). 

If this should be true, then do I understand correctly that Apple would prefer Gemini or ChatGPT over their own AI-trained model?

Does Apple plan to integrate Gemini/ChatGPT with Siri? 

If these negotiations should be true, it would indicate that Apple is really far behind on AI. 

Of course, it depends on who contacted who at first like Google did with their Chrome on iOS. 

I am thinking maybe Apple is planning to offer LLM alternatives (maybe a way to ward off more lawsuits when they dominate everyone else (Haha)), but I truly hope they have their own LLM and LAM plans for actual integration into the various AppleOSs.

This is off-topic but related to AI (as in Apple Insider).  Is it just me, or does anyone else find it's PITA with this blog if you have been signed out for any reason, and you are trying to post or reply to a post, you get asked to sign in; however, once done, you are thrown completely out of the blog and have to manually navigate back to where you were. Good blogs sign you in and return you to where you left off.

I think there will be a fix ASAP.

I will never use the new Carplay in my 2024 BM x5 if BM were to jump on board.  The current version of Carplay displays like a Disney cartoon with no way to modified the look, especially colors (too loud typical of Tim Cook preferences). Compared to my sleek, elegant look, predominately gold and black tones of OEM BMW nav and other iDrive 8.5 views, Carplay looks silly as if it was designed by folk at Sesame Street productions.  

GUIs are a matter of taste and functionality, and cross-device and eco-system integration are another.  My Jaguar has nice subtle graphics you'd probably approve of, but the overall experience when our Macs, iPads, and iPhones so seamlessly work with Car Play is in another dimension to the manufacturer's offerings alone.  That said, there are a ton of features the Jag's system offers in addition, from ambient cabin lighting choices to the various safety and suspension features and safety adaptations, so using both the Jag and Apple's systems, where most useful, seems the logical way for now.  If Apple were to add all the other features into a full experience, as I believe is coming, then I seriously doubt manufacturers would even worry as long as they sell cars.  At that point, a choice of interface designs and color schemes from Apple doesn't sound too far-fetched.  As it is, the Jag's Sports Dynamic driving mode changes the dash and the entire cabin's color scheme even when Car play is at the forefront.

Wouldn't consider a car without carplay

Same here, that and Adaptive cruise control.
