Apple just had the negotiator of the year right there, or OpenAI is really that bad.

It's especially bad knowing that I'm this setup, all of OpenAI is replaceable in Apple's code by changing a single line of code and pointing to a different API.

My guess is that Apple is just able to show OpenAI how good they are at upselling other 3rd party apps into paid subscriptions.

I bet the bargaining chip is, “you can sell GPT Plus, but we won’t take a 15 to 30% App Store cut if you let us send requests to GPT 4 when the dumber Apple LLMs don’t cut it.”
