This might be old man shakes fist at cloud, but I just get the heebie jeebies with this generative AI stuff
I'm not saying Apple should fire him, I'm saying he should retire.
Opensource AI is taking the lead. Free AI models are now “reasonably close” to proprietary models from OpenAI or Google.
So Apple should repeat what it did with the LLVM product. Finance OSS products, employ some of their tech leaders and integrate it. The only problem with this approach is, that Apple evolved into an extremely closed and proprietary company what makes it hard to find people willing to work for it. Many AI experts already jumped ship - away from Apple.

Tim Cook was too busy with his show pony Ted Lasso. The time has come for Timothy to gracefully bow down and let a younger generation take the helm.
No...but...
"We could not be more excited, here it is y'all, our device. Not only do we not have any interesting apps, we have no idea what it will be used for. C'mon down and help give us a clue!"
I really hope they've been working on this for years because if they are just starting....Jesus.
Is that the younger generation that is still living at home with mom and dad?
I’m sorry mystery hill I am afraid I am unable to slap my knees as I am only a voice assistant but I can search google for knee slapping businesses closeby.
Buy a droid? Oh God no. Your whole life is on your iPhone. Going to trust that on a droid? Absolutely no chance.
What a tired, old trope you dragged out.
The headline makes me wonder just how late to the game Apple is.
Not really. Now that we know what actually works, Apple can use it to leapfrog everyone else. Many such cases.
As an AAPL investor, I'm going to lose it if they spend another minute at WWDC talking about new emojis.
ChatGPT caught everyone by surprise - even Google, the inventor of transformers that enabled GPT3 and 4. I agree though. My jaws have never dropped farther than when I first saw GPT3.5 and GPT4 in action.

ChatGPT and LLMs in general are an existential threat to Apple.
If you haven't yet, I recommend that you check out plugins for ChatGPT. Companies are now building plugins around ChatGPT so that it can communicate with other services via APIs.
For example, in the future, instead of downloading multiple apps to plan, book your vacation, you can just ask ChatGPT to plan your entire vacation for you. Need to cancel? Just ask ChatGPT to do it. Flight canceled and you're stranded? Ask ChatGPT to call the airline and seek a refund and hotel credits for you.
This greatly diminishes the importance of the iPhone because you will have an extremely fast and capable personal assistant following you around. In the not too far future, you probably just need a screen and an internet connection. It doesn't have to be an iPhone.

One could argue that Apple is behind the curve but one can also look at this way: Apple recruits AI experts who wanted to do some really amazing things at their former company but that company's myopic management prevented them from doing so. Hell that kind of thing even happened within Apple itself with the first iMac.
New emoji do more to get normies to update their iOS version than security fixes.
If you have a problem with that, don’t blame Apple.
That’s the idea behind a headline. Get you to click.
I’m sure they’re “ramping up” because of the disruption that is ChatGPT, but I don’t think there’s any need to be concerned about Apple being “behind”. People aren’t going to leave the Apple ecosystem because the revamping of Siri comes later than Bard or whatever.
I don't think those are the two that are really ahead. They just rather suddenly showed they are working on things after OpenAI released what they had. I've been beta testing OAI since last July and just don't feel the overpowering confidence in AI that others seem to. But just my opinion.
But yes, Siri is very limited. If you know what it does it's superb. If you want it to think you are screwed.
You're not seeing it. ChatGPT or another LLM is an existential threat to Apple just like how ChatGPT might be an existential threat to Google's search business.
