I’m shocked they still want to resurrect the name ‘Siri’. 😳
The industry is scrambling to find its next smartphone / iPhone momentthe computer industry is scrambling. Scrambling for ai. its an existential threat. Fail, & you're gone.
Tim was too busy enjoying lunch with the Ted Lasso cast and filming Severance cameos. Now, he’s hitting the golf course with Brad Pitt. But don’t ya worry my sweet child, he’s on it now! 🤡What took them so long to hire people?
13 years late.As per tradition, Apple is doing this 5 years late.
can’t blame them for being a bit doomy if it’s the same people who bought the 16 series based on the promise of AI and now reading that they just started hiring…Apple delays Apple Intelligence. MR folks: Apple is doomed.
Apple loses AI people. MR folks: Apple is doomed.
Apple hires folks for AI. MR folks: Apple is doomed.
Meanwhile, record quarter.
Gotta love it here.
I certainly give you that those posters who bought a 16 with that expectations are disappointed, but that is not the majority of the doom posters.can’t blame them for being a bit doomy if it’s the same people who bought the 16 series based on the promise of AI and now reading that they just started hiring…
well last year they started with a brainstorm meeting. And after one year of figuring that apple staff is not able, they now try to get people with the knowledge. Next year they will find out that siri is a dead horse and then the real work can startShouldn't they have did this one year ago!
I disagree. The world doesn't need yet another chatbot app. The future of AI, including generative models, doesn't lie in chatbots. It's in a truly smart system that understands the user and helps him get things done. Be predictive, proactive, and supportive. Act. I admire Apple for not doing what everybody else does and I'm convinced that in the long run their vision will turn out to be great.Joz saying that "Apple doesn't want to build a chatbot" shows how out of touch Apple leadership is and how they got here. After Steve died, Apple has had no visionaries at the top. Steve Jobs' last acquisition was a chatbot — Siri —and nobody from Tim Cook down to his VPs understood the future as conversational computing as Steve Jobs envisioned on his deathbed.
They're now paying the price and trying to catch up as others like openAI show them the future. Apple has too much money to be in any trouble but if they don't get better at envisioning 20 years ahead, they will be.
So how did you switch to Grok 4?…oh that’s right of course on your amazingly powerful, fast, secure and ultra private iPhone.Maybe its me. but Siri is worthless to most people I know. Doesn't get half the stuff I want, or cannot do it due to limitations. I switched permanently to Grok 4... Apple C-Suite keeps sleeping too long on new cutting edge stuff until the train moved past them.
There’s room for nuanced criticism although the more extreme takes are definitely reactionary.Apple delays Apple Intelligence. MR folks: Apple is doomed.

That should have been clear as day with the "new Siri" debacle. They are getting left behind and trying everything they can to "catch up" but their old, not first but better, isn't the case anymore with their terrible software they have been pumping out lately.It’s glaringly obvious that they’re still fumbling in the dark with no idea what they’re doing. iOS 27? Seriously? Why even bother splurging on a new iPhone this September? This is an absolute train wreck of embarrassment.
ChatGPT has been “for profit” since 2019 and they still haven’t generated a profit. They are hemorrhaging money as a matter of fact and they have competitors everywhere. Competition that is growing fast so they need to worry about their survival first before developing any hardware. LolI’m excited about the prospect of OpenAI developing an innovative smart device that hopefully eventually will rival the iPhone. I’m sooo eager to move away from my Apple tech and embrace a fresh, AI-driven alternative that could redefine the smartphone experience.
Apple can and always “does it better”.Already ChatGPT-like search by ChatGPT
Please source this. I think it’s conjecture based on their funding, operational loss right now is expected. Do you have evidence to the contrary? I’d be curious to read it if it is objective and not put together by someone with bias against the tools in general.ChatGPT has been for profit since 2019 and they still haven’t generated a profit.
