General Motors joins the fray of companies looking to use the machine learning models that power ChatGPT. The carmaker is working on using the technology for its in-car digital assistant. GM envisions using the assistant to support drivers in instances where they would typically turn to their vehicle's owner's manual in the past. For example, it can show you how to replace your car's tire. It can also offer integration and scheduling features with other devices, including garage door openers.

But GM is reportedly trying to add a "car-specific layer" on top of the large language models, which will make it operate differently than other chatbots like Bing Chat. Speaking of Bing, GM's effort in this space is part of its collaboration with Microsoft, which will most likely run on Azure. The company hasn't revealed the name of the software yet or the potential release date.
