ChatGPT may replace Google Assistant in Android phones in the future

As it can be seen from the codes of the ChatGPT application on Android, there is a possibility that in the near future, ChatGPT will replace Google Assistant on the Android platform.

In an era where artificial intelligence has become so powerful that it has even destroyed hundreds of thousands of jobs, it is not at all strange that we see a series of digital technologies being retired thanks to its presence. Of course, in relation to today's news, we must say that Google Assistant is not going to retire and give its place to ChatGPT; In fact, apparently OpenAI has made it so easy to access its artificial intelligence on the Android platform that perhaps few people think of using Google Assistant.

According to the Android Authority website, apparently the ChatGPT Android application code contains information that indicates the possibility of the presence of this powerful artificial intelligence as a voice assistant in the Android operating system. Just like what Microsoft has done; That is, the integration of a copilot artificial intelligence with the Windows 11 operating system, during which the user can meet his needs without the need to install a separate app or enter a specific space on the Internet.

The ChatGPT Android application has a new activity called com.openai.voice.assistant.AssistantActivity which was initially disabled but can be enabled manually. When you run the app in the new update, an animation with a rotating mode will appear, which is very similar to the ChatGPT WeChat mode. This animated icon does not cover the entire screen and can mean that the user will be able to invoke ChatGPT in any situation and at any moment.

Although this feature is currently under development, if it is finalized, Android users will probably prefer this powerful artificial intelligence OpenAI to Google Assistant to have a much wider and better experience of working with artificial intelligence.

In addition, in the new update of the ChatGPT application on Android, you will see a tile added to the quick settings menu section so that you can easily call this artificial intelligence from there. Of course, this feature is disabled automatically and it can mean that the user must purchase a subscription to access it.

As Google's artificial intelligence, Bard, becomes more advanced, we should gradually expect Google to integrate its own artificial intelligence with Google Assistant and release it on Android phones. But OpenAI's attempt to replace Google Assistant with wider features and easier access and thus make itself known to the world is considered a strategic move and may even drive users away from Google's popular voice assistant. It remains to be seen whether this strategy will ultimately succeed or not.
