The best Siri EVER
Just imagining virtual assistant Tim Cook:I can’t imagine Apple letting users customize the personality of their AI Assistants.
It would be more likely that we all end up with an AI with Tim Cook’s personality.
Question: 'Siri, find me a recipe for banana bread'
Response: 'Today, we have a recipe for raspberry pie we know you are going to love'
So what I’m hearing from someone working in the industry is that this is just phase 1 of Apple’s leap into generative AI.
Just like iMessages, it’s going to be encrypted and not even Apple will have knowledge of what the communication is between the AI and end user is.
Ultimately though, Apple hopes to bring this feature on device. Unfortunately neural engine right now is simply not powerful on current Apple Silicon chips. It won’t be until around A19 or A20 where Apple can finally cram neural engine powerful enough to have generative AI on device.

Clearly you haven't used Apple Maps recently.How are they going to come up with anything remotely resembling AI if they cannot get the basics right?

For Apple building a generative AI feels a bit like Apple trying to compete with Google Maps with their very own Apple Maps. Despite their efforts Google Maps is and probably always will be light years ahead.
Also I'm wondering who needs Siri or AI to know which software version their phone is running ? 🤣
BWAHAHA what a great joke, Apple & AI...
Apple is the inventor of AD(Artificial Dumbness) aka Siri.

I hope they don’t phase out the Siri Brand (not technology, that can go away). It’s already too iconic and infamous to be deleted, so i think they should just adopt brand new, useful and reliable technology and call it Siri. I believe a complete overhaul it’s more impressive than a brand new product.
Yes, but the problem is in the ways it can fail. One good example id a failure is to ask for a biogrphy of George Washington's youngest grandchild Sara. The AI will give a brief summary even though we know GW never have any children. I think someone also got a summary of Beethoven's 11th Symphony too. These famous errors are likey fixed by now but there could be MANY more waiting to happen. ... Perhaps I could ask GPT-Siri why you stopped killing and eating small children.
The trouble is there is no way to put a custom fix on every possible future problem and it i VERY hard to stop these AIs from doing what they are asked to do. The solution Apple is looking for is to build a version of GPT does NOT hold information itself, but looks up information and then summarizes it. So it would never find information that did not exist.
It gets harder. What if we ask Siri about how the election was "stolen" from Trump? There is fake information out on the web that a search can find but how is Siri to know it is fake? How to stop GTP-Siri from giving credible summaries about the Flat Earth, Space Aliens, stolen elections, and the sighting of Elvis Presley? It is a hard problem that the others don't car too much about.

Of course, you inject the AI into very dense A19 processors and it actually adds some interesting features. Here's some secretly-captured, insider video of one such injection test (shhhhhhh, don't tell anyone about this, it's between us Apple friends)....
Earliest rumors say Apple AI is taking security to the NEXT level with Proactive Security. Nobody will dare try to steal your future iDevices and/or you are free to use them in the darkest of alleys in the riskiest zones of neighborhoods or boroughs. "Only Apple can deliver this new proactive security. We think you will love it*"
An added tagline in development goes roughly like: "Don't make Siri angry. You won't like Siri if she's angry."
AI-evolved Siri future response: "I don't know what you mean by ________ but say hello to my little friend."
Grab and run iPhone thefts from stores would always result in a quick resolution... with no court or incarceration costs... and no repeat offenses.
"Find my phone" will be obsolete because AI iPhone will find you.
*if you survive with it enabled.

No. Apple also hates using terms other have popularized, so GPT, which is also in no way descriptive, is not going to be used. Likely they will just incorporate it into Siri, and continue that branding.
I need this because…?. To make Siri work to schedule and alarm before a meeting?, to set an alarm to my favorite songs or radio station?.
Apple does not allow that, so, pretty useless?

So privacy’s out the window all of a sudden? AI learns and searches everything you ask it to and keeps your history. How else would it know how to help you? Oh and it has to use outside an ecosystem for it to know.
I’m not sure how a supply chain analyst would know about Apple’s software plans. I’m a little skeptical.
LOL or I found stuff on the WebLarge language models would create a whole lot of different ways to say "I don't know what you mean by _______. Here's what I found on the web for _________." Synonyms for words in those lines are abundant and there are many ways to restate the same confusion.
Who says they haven’t been test something? From my understanding they been doing a lot of work with AI and Machine Learning.
