> Siri fell behind due to how good Apple’s privacy is.

Garbage. That's some good spin, though. Siri is a turd in a punch bowl for many reasons that have nothing to do with privacy.

"Siri, do X thing" "Done"

"Siri, do [extremely similar to X] thing" "I don't know what you mean"

Siri is connected to my Apple HomeKit. "Siri, turn off my Kitchen Lights" "I don't know what lights you mean."

Siri feels like it never evolved past a proof of concept.

It’s funny. Even a team of interns could’ve mapped more synonyms, right?

& Apple Intelligence, when it uses ChatGPT, it wouldn’t be quite as horrible if Apple had paid for better tokens instead of quantizing into oblivion… I think.

Two savings for Apple resulting in subpar experiences.
