ChatGPT can now control iMessage, potentially raising Apple privacy concerns

OpenAI recently introduced a feature enabling ChatGPT to control Apple's iMessage, potentially prompting privacy concerns for Apple.

Additionally, the system can search, summarize, and provide insights about conversations within the Apple Messages app.
