We need real AI
Siri and other voice apps will all have limited use until they have proper offline AI. I hope this is something we'll see in the next decade or so.
I want to be able to have a proper conversation with an artificial intelligence that actually understands the meaning of what I say, and can access any data or perform any function on the internet or connected devices without having to guess what I want based on a limited list of what it knows how to do. And I want it everywhere, not just on my phone.
I want it to be listening all the time, so all I need to do is say a keyword and it's on.
I want it to work offline and instantly.
I want it to be able to find out anything where the information exists online, not just from a few select apple partners.
Imagine you're sat at your desk, you're cold so you ask siri to turn the heating on and it does it.
Imagine you're out and you worry you left the oven on - ask siri and it will tell you.
Imagine you're at home and have lost your phone, you ask siri (on your home intercom) and the phone rings.
You have a question about anything and siri can tell you.
Until voice control is all these things it will remain an occasional tool of limited use.
Oh, and she would need to obey Asimovs Three Laws...
