Apple Wants You To Know It's Working On AI (reuters.com) 47
Apple plans to disclose more about its plans to put generative AI to use later this year, Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said during the company's annual shareholder meeting on Wednesday. From a report: Cook said that the iPhone maker sees "incredible breakthrough potential for generative AI, which is why we're currently investing significantly in this area. We believe that will unlock transformative opportunities for users when it comes to productivity, problem solving and more."
Apple has been slower in rolling out generative AI, which can generate human-like responses to written prompts, than rivals such as Microsoftand Alphabet's Google, which are weaving them into products. On Wednesday, Cook argued that AI is already at work behind the scenes in Apple's products but said there would be more news on explicit AI features later this year. Bloomberg previously reported Apple plans to use AI to improve the ability to search through data stored on Apple devices. "Every Mac that is powered by Apple silicon is an extraordinarily capable AI machine. In fact, there's no better computer for AI on the market today," Cook said.

Lmao, ChatGPT can offer infinitely more than Siri ever could, and will still be better than anything Apple develops. Because Apple is bad at developing everything that they can't just buy outright.

Chatgpt can at least say things that are believable at some level. Siri is just a total moron, and always has been. The reason you think siri is intelligent is because years of huffing the battery fumes coming out of your bent iphones has made you even more dumb.

If you believe that, you might as well believe Microsoft is going to also release a new version of Cortana complete with holographic projection and powered by their partnership with OpenAI. ...actually, that sounds significantly more believable.

Do you have any evidence to the Contrary?
Apple knows Siri sucks. They have stated that it is barely extensible, and the Dev. Team has spaghetti-coded and stretched Siri just about as far as it can go, and a Complete Rewrite is the Only Cure.
Of course, in typical internet fashion, I can't find the article I saw about a year ago about this. I think it was in MacRumors; but I am not sure at this moment. But the gist of the Article was as I described.

Of course not.
That's why Apple is coming up on a half-Century of Success, which has it Currently being (depending on the day) the Top, or within pissing-distance of the Top, Valuation in the World of any Business. And all based on Products that are Powered by, or are the sole Result of, the efforts of Apple's Software Developers.
Because they have bad Software Developers.
Makes sense to me!

As usual, she had no clue and gave me random Google results for "Apple" and "AI"...
Siri is not even a friend of Mr. Spock, like Alexa is.

In the 90s we used "AI" (neural networks specifically) at NCR to do OCR for high-speed cheque processing.
Current "AI" is fantastic at boosting cloud services revenue.
I feel bad for the folks who have been studying ML for decades, and the "killer app" appears to be chat bots used to generate spam text and images.
