[UPDATE: as of April 2023, using the ChatGPT API requires a paid subscription. See instructions below]
TL; DR:
Looking for a way to activate ChatGPT with Siri using voice commands? There's a shortcut for that.
Just ask Siri to run ChatGPT, ask your question using voice, get an answer, and store it as a note.

The long version + how to configure
I created this little shortcut (inspired by Fabian Heuwieser's post) to connect Siri to ChatGPT so I can use it on the move with voice commands.
The shortcut does the following:
- Prompts you to ask a question
- Sends it to ChatGPT
- Reads the answer
- Allows you to save the answer into a new Apple Note
How to setup
- First, copy your ChatGPT API key from here.
- Then download the shortcut and add it to your shortcuts app.
- Last, enter your API key in the designated placeholder (don't keep the brackets)
Accessing the ChatGPT API via Paid Subscription
As of April 2023, you need to pay to use the API. Without it, you'll probably get an error saying you exceeded your quota.

Recognition
Unavailable
Speech recognition is not currently available. You may need to connect to the Internet.
Next I said all at once "Hey Siri Smart Siri" - and it was now answering and interacting, and writing code (It wrote a qr code generator script...but the drawback is it then had to read back the entire answer to you - every single PHP line of code it read. I had to let it finish to get to the end to hear the "Save Answer?" reply. I said yes, and it was saved to my Apple Iphone Notes app.
So it all works for me. When I ask Smart Siri what time it is, the answer is September 2020 so that's the cutoff.
Overall I'm very thankful for this post and detailed explanation from the author here. I had just downloaded an app to do this but they wanted $69 per year - no thank you - this is free and it gets me what I wanted.
Thank you team!

1. speech recognition should be turned on (mac or iPhone) - if you get an error - check how to turn it in he settings.
2. API key - you need to have an active OpenAI account and turn on the API key option, so you can grab the key and paste it in the script.
