Turns out you can force Siri to go through ChatGPT by treating it like a command line. The ungrammatical query “ChatGPT When does Apple next report quarterly resultschatgpts an accurate answer. I'd grade the answer A-, losing points for not saying "today” (which ChatGPT.app did).
So this means that if you use Siri and want better answers, you need to type “chatgpt" at the beginning of every query.

@gruber This is how intents generally work and Siri is using these (expanded) intent APIs. “In Things, remind me…”. The fact that typing the commands behaves the same way may be excusable, but having ChatGPT as just another intent seems like a huge miss.

@djstarr But it's not just an intent. There are some queries where Siri will decide to go to ChatGPT, if the ChatGPT extension is enabled. In the particular case of my question re: when Apple's earnings would be announced, Siri decided to handle it on its own, despite only being able to provide a list of search results from Google.

@gruber Good point. We know from the initial ChatGPT integration launch that for privacy/strategy?/agreement? reasons that Apple didn’t want to hand off to ChatGPT blindly. Between iOS 18 beta announce and 18.2 ship they added the option to turn off “Confirm ChatGPT requests” in Siri settings. Seems the line of when to hand off to ChatGPT for general knowledge isn’t yet where it needs to be from an experience standpoint. Apple likely suspects that they can improve Siri to be competitive+private.
