It's wild how early Siri came out, but how useless it's become. Competition is a good thing. Let's hope Apple can catch Siri up to today's standards.

Maybe...they can ask ChatGPT to help with Siri code and fix that first.....
Hey, Siri. Text Jimbo "Beat up Martin".
Siri: Texting Jimbo "Eat up Martha"

They could rename it to Dory, the memory-impaired fish from Finding Nemo.
Why does Apple keep creating products that are seemingly great to start, then allowed to whither? It happens to so much of Apple's eco system both hardware and software. Things always seem half baked. Pick any of their software offerings, FCP, Pages, Keynote, Numbers, Calendar, Siri, AppleTV, HomeKit, etc. It feels like they start out with great expectations and then nothing. They sit without any true innovative updates. And the hardware, Lord, Mac Pro, iPhone, that mouse (OUCH!). It feels like over the years, they have done just enough to sell the same tweaked version as last years model, but nothing that stretches their creativity. I know it's a very complicated process, but where are all the billions going for R&D? I don't know, I guess I'm not really feeling excited about what Apple "may" have coming out with going forward like I used to be.
they didn't invent Siri

Nah, Microsoft didn't rename Bing either, it will just be the New Siri.
Siri says "I found some web results."
Siri is, without question, total garbage.
If it manages to set a timer correctly, and before said timer would have already expired, it's an achievement.

I remember a few years ago when Facebook demoed a chatbot on stage and all the tech press was like ’Apple is doomed if they don’t have a chatbot tomorrow’. ChatGPT is all the rage now but eventually techies/press will get bored and move on to something else.
Siri GPT? Epic Disaster.
So because Apple's AI is currently far behind the competition they shouldn't try to improve their AI?

Siri is the dumbest assistant around! Apple Engineers won't add chatGPT for many decades.
The comments about "clunky code" and having to rebuild a huge database for every new phrase, this being an unchanged state of affairs after over a decade certainly sounds like no one at Apple understands the code well enough to be able to substantially improve it.
Apple has transformed itself into a Marketing, Subscription, Financial Services and Media Production company. This has been with great fanfare, and to great shareholder happiness. And Everyone dream of new $2000 iPhone every year: Genius Marketers, the greatest the world has ever known. Marketing honed to perfection.
Quite brilliant.
Tech innovation hit a dead end more than 10 years ago. The only new thing to hit recently was Alexa, and now GPT. If Amazon works a deal to add GPT into Alexa's brain... uh..
