So three tech giants (Amazon, Google and Apple) spent many years and so much money on voice assistants that are now dead ends. They're all trying again with LLM voice assistants. https://www.nytimes.com/...

Sorry but anyone who needed “weeks” to discover that Siri is *horrible* shouldn't be consulted any more. Siri is as bad as Apple Weather. — 0% chance of rain, my ass.

I'm curious to see how Apple reconciles this with their general “privacy first” position. Because doing Gen AI should mean they'll vacuum up a boatload of personal data. [embedded post]

Apple execs tried ChatGPT last year and came to the conclusion Siri is antiquated. A functional digital assistant that can actually understand conversations and complete tasks would be a good reason for users to buy Android devices instead of iPhones. So they've panicked. [image]

If this is what the Monday's event is about and Apple choses to limit these options to OpenAI only (rather than letting the user choose which LLM to work with), then I might start worrying....
