If Apple is able to make Siri better, I’m all in!
Like the legacy “It just works.”
Well, maybe someday Apple will get there.
Now you got me wondering if Samsung will try the same. BixbyGPT
Maybe it is something they are working on
"This could be Siri's last hope."
"No, there is anoth– Nope, never mind. Yep, this is Siri's last hope."

I could see Apple coming up with, “Apple ChatGPT Pro”, Apple ChatGPT Pro Max” or Apple ChatGPT Ultra”. 🤔 💭
Hope Apple’s variation on AI is a better more useful product for consumers.
At this point ChatGPT and similar seems very overblown. When I have used it, it just seems like a super powerful search engine that puts "results" into paragraph format like a person summarizing what it finds. When I ask it for directions to do things I often find errors in the steps and have to have it correct itself or start over. I tried to have it write an example essay for one of my graduate courses and the sources it gives me sometimes don't exist (???) and once it rick-rolled me on a YouTube video source which was funny but not helpful.
I assume AI specialized for specific purposes is obviously much better, but all of these data-based chat AI don't seem much more helpful than the MSN bots of old at the moment.

Apple's problem is that these LLMs (Large Language Models) are very good at generating responses, but many times the information in the response sounds authoritative but is WRONG.
The difference between Google Search and ChatGPT is that Google points you to many sources of the information which could be right or wrong and leaves it to you to sift through it all. But GPT makes up new content that sounds good but is generally inaccurate.
I think what needs to be done is create a GPT-like search engine that summarized actual source materials and also provides links to the sources.
The problem with LLMs is that you can ask them something like "Tell me about George Washington's first grandchild named Ann." and the LLM will do exactly as you asked, it will tell you a few facts about her life. But in reality, Washington had no grandchildren.

Siri isn’t chat gpt nor any language model. Siri is a voice assistant. What siri does or doesn’t make any difference, hope Apple is working hard to fix hallucinations in language models and increase the level of the models to something higher than a high school student.
Cannot wait for:
Here is what I found on the web for you 😁

While I agree that they often make up fiction (sometimes called hallucinations), and have seen many examples of that, this particular prompt is not causing my chatGPT (May 24 version) to hallucinate.
That is better than hallucinating and giving non existent information. It’s exactly what Chat GPT and BARD needs now.
I hope the Chat GPT folks are ready for the insurmountable lawsuits that are coming for copyright infringement. This will be the downfall of A.I.
Not really they will exactly use the same defense/argument google used for google books and other lawsuits. Ai isn’t gonna be put back in to the bottle.
The way Siri has been developed and updated over the years has turned the code into a mess that no one really wants to touch. In order to “fix” Siri, a complete rewrite will probably be the best way forward, so Apple might as well expand this rumored “Apple GPT” endeavor. I predict the evolution of Apple’s implementation of a large language model will follow a similar progression as Apple Maps. Upon initial release it will be the most unreliable LLM out there, however, overtime it will become the preferred LLM among Apple device owners. That said, I also wouldn’t be surprised if it is exponentially better on initial release than the current implementation of Siri
ChatGPT had been in development for years, as have projects from all of the tech titans. It’s not as if they are starting from scratch. If Fed is overseeing development, that is big news.
I used the free version in iOS and asked it questions about Apple ID. I’ve never had such a succinct and rational explanation for the questions I had. Easier to find than getting into Apples notes, which change with each version.
Side note, I really wish the “A.I” buzzword would die, because as it is now, none of this crap is AI. It’s all still machine learning and large language models.
I'm not saying it will be put back in the bottle, but the lawsuits are coming. In fact, many are already in progress as we speak.
This is kind of correct. ChatGPT, bard, etc. are really advanced copy/paste. They aren’t artificial intelligence. They are like search engines, except that their data is always outdated since they have to be “trained”.
Oh before Apple will release Ai something new and better is coming up on the surface. I’m kiddin, or maybe not.

Apple should buy all the current successful AI companies and add their technological distinctiveness to their own and create a killer Apple ecosystem AI assistent.
I don’t think Apple will mix Siri with their gpt language model. I don’t want a voice assistant which has access to confidential personal information to use/train a language model. Goes against that apple privacy stance.
There is literally no overlap between Siri and GPT models.
