I create this thread to gather data from users and therefore give everybody a better understanding on the time needed to be accepted as a "siri ai tester".

Here's the info I think should be given:
- Time and date of enlisting
- Location (country)
- Time and date of acceptance (if any)
 
I'll start:

- Time of enlisting: 9th June at around 2pm Beijing time
- China
- Still waiting
 
You might be waiting a long while from China - Apple did say it was not going to be available while they sort through "regulatory requirements".

- Started: 9th June, 10am GMT+8
- Australia
- Spotlight indexing: 6 days so far, still going
- Siri AI: 5 days to arrive, now waiting for expressive voices to download/work

Yeah that could happen, but I still have a bit of hope because the device was bought in Europe, and the language and region is set to English-US.
 
Installed immediately, Colorado Springs USA, still waiting on both my iP Air and MBP M5.. indexing did wrap up mid-morning today, it took quite a while (not related, I suppose)
 
- Time and date of enlisting : 06:00 ICT, 9 June
- Location (country) : Thailand, Region and Language set to India and English (India)
- Time and date of acceptance (if any) : Still waiting as of 12:30 ICT, 10 June
 
I'm really curious if ANYONE has got through the waiting list yet. It'd be really odd to conduct all this WWDC training on AI etc while no devs can even try the new system.
 
Oh

I'm pretty sure thousands of people already got in, espetially paying devs.

Oh yeah, people have been getting in, but just as many people like me have been still waiting at this point too (and as I type this, I still am; if we get to later today at 6:00 PM that will mark just over a week at this point)

As to how they have been letting people in, it's anyone's guess at this point as to how they're sifting through what I'm sure is a giant list right now

The list is probably long, but you also gotta keep in mind that the greater majority of people doesn't even know iOS "beta" ever existed. I don't know statistics, but people who knows it could be even smaller than 1% of iDevices' users.

Has it finished now? Are you in?

I'm guessing apple will let known people in first to try it out like developers, content creators and reporters so they can get some free PR on their update which will be coming out in september.

I have just updated my phone and siri has started to learn about me.

But by going by your comment, I might have to wait a week or a bit longer until it is finished.

If you have finished the siri update, how is it?

I wonder how good the AI integration will be. If not i will get another ai to automate my processes

Yup, after waiting the week and a few days (10 days) for it, I would say the wait was more than worth it

The thing I've used it the most for is for context for certain things in messages and the way it was able to with no problem pull out what I was asking about was so cool

The one snag I've found so far (but I think one that should hopefully be fixed in the future) is that it can't extract something from an image (ie, I asked it about when the flight of a friend of mine was scheduled to land, but it couldn't do that, at least at first)

Also, in terms of Siri AI on other devices, on the Mac it's great, but on the Apple Watch right now at least, since it has to rely on getting it from your phone, it is the most spotty of the bunch but hopefully come beta 4 next week they'll have optimized it a little more and it'll work as good as Siri AI has worked on everything else since iOS/iPadOS/macOS 27 beta 2
