"Amazon plans to give Alexa an AI overhaul — and a monthly subscription price"

Given that Amazon is going to start charging for the AI version of Alexa, I wonder if Apple has this same plan up its sleeve.

Maybe roll AI into the Apple One Premier bundle? Or add a tier, Apple One Ultra?

From 14 years ago, here's the original Siri demo.

This is aspirational, not a show of features, but still, there's a tantalizing promise there that we never reached.

But watch that GPT 4o demo I posted earlier with this video in mind. To me, feels like we are much closer to that original dream.

OpenAI's demo of "GPT 4o" (link below) is astonishing. The demo itself starts at about 9 minutes in.

Can't help but think about Siri and how high the bar is for Apple.

26 days until WWDC.

Ciekawe czy jak #Apple zaktualizuje #Siri to, czy będę dostawał powiadomienia z kalendarza, że za 10 minut mam autobus czy pociąg do miejsca, w którym ma się odbyć wydarzenie.
Bo jak nie Apple to kto? ;p

OpenAI closed the deal with Apple, the next Siri will probably be powered by OpenAI. Not a coincidence i think the deal was closed before the pressconference from OpenAI today about it's product updates.
Also Google I/O is tomorrow, it's a busy week for AI.

iPad: Für mich seit einigen Jahren keine Notwendigkeit mehr. Mir genügt die Kombination von Macbook Air mit M1-Chip und iPhone 13 Pro vollkommen. Meine Begierde nach einem neuen Gerät könnte geweckt werden, wenn in der nächsten Generation von iPhone und MacBook wirklich für mich nützliche KI-Funktionalität drin wäre. Denk ich (derzeit) an #Siri in der Nacht ...

"The decision came after the executives Craig Federighi and John Giannandrea spent weeks testing ChatGPT. The product’s use of generative artificial intelligence, which can write poetry, create computer code and answer complex questions, made Siri look antiquated"

Amazing to me that it took 3 wks of ChatGPT to convince Apple that Siri was "antiquated".

Whole bunch of folks have been screaming this from the rooftops for years. 😐

I’m glad Apple isn’t going to foist another LLM like ChatGPT or Claude on the world. Using machine learning for small specific tasks and increasing the number of ML-enhanced tasks until there is nothing left to enhance is a better way to go.

If I want an LLM I’ll use Claude, or ChatGPT.

Well, that's a first! My iPhone was reading a web story and #siri on a #homepod decided some passage was a request to play a song. Now #AI's are talking to each other? #Apple #funny

Od dawna mam niby nieprzeczytane wiadomości na telefonie. Niby, bo gdy włączę wyświetlanie tylko nieprzeczytanych to mam pustą listę. Jakoś mi to szczególnie nie przeszkadzało, ale trzeba coś z tym w końcu zrobić.
Pierwsza z brzegu porada to „zainstaluj nasz super zajefajny program“, za pomocą którego możesz (możemy ;-)) zrobić cuda ze swoim (twoim) telefonem. Hehe. 🙈😈

A rozwiązanie jest nietrywialne.
„Hey Siri! Read my messages.“ 😎 😁 🫣

Weird how #Siri works. I say "Go Daddy", and Siri types "GoDaddy," then changes it to "Gaddy." Obviously, because statistically, it's more likely I said "Gaddy." 🙄

Apple may appear to be dipping a toe into the AI game, but recent reports and rumors have suggested that the tech giant has just been biding its time. @theverge tells us what Apple has been working on, including a potentially “really, really, really good Siri.” https://flip.it/KqrHth

Exclusive: Several of Apple's standard system components are on the verge of receiving significant AI-related enhancements, with Safari, Spotlight Search, and Siri being first in line for the treatment.

Academics probe #Apple's #privacy settings and get lost and confused
Researchers note many studies examinedprivacy issues with 3rd-party apps for Apple devices, little literature investigates first-party apps – like Safari and Siri. Just disabling #Siri requires visits to five submenus.
They also criticize data collection by Apple apps like Safari and Siri, where data is sent, how users can (and can't) disable data tracking, and how Apple presents privacy options to users

I just asked Siri to turn off the lights in the laundry room, and Siri turned off the lights in my office. I could understand confusing laundry room for living room or something, but the "office" is named just office and has no "room" in it. This has been happening for months now and I don't get why it's still not fixed. I'm nervous for iOS 18's potential to introduce even more HomeKit bugs.

@julipuli constantly played song Chandalier when I said "Siri, turn on chandalier".
I wonder how many plays on this song are from frustrated users.
Anyway I found workaround.
I now say "Siri, set chandalier to 100%" and win rate is much higher. (1/2)

"Should Apple Kill Siri and Start Over?"

First off, this is a nice rollup of various aspects of the "Siri is bad" issue. Worth reading.

As to the kill and start over issue? Question is, is the basic architecture flawed or just the user facing parts?

Either way, I think Siri is the anchor dragging Apple's brand.

◉ Fast Tracker — my simple, reliable and privacy-centric Intermittent Fasting Tracker — has been updated with Siri/Shortcuts Integration, Fasting Zone and Fast Reminder Notifications, and more.

It's now easier than ever to start and stop a fasting session… you don’t even have to open the app!

I have some Shortcuts automations on iOS that speak text, and sometimes the voice is very quiet, and sometimes it shouts at me at full volume, and adjusting the device volume has no effect on it. Well, #TIL you can tell Siri, “Set your volume to 40” (the number is a percentage of the max volume), and that affects the automation speech level. Problem solved!

A friend suggested going for a walk. On my way out, I told Siri: “send Steve a message”.

It asked if I meant

— Steve [who’d texted me 10 minutes ago & lives in town]?
— or Steve [in the Bailiwick of Jersey who worked for a client 10 years ago (who I had to look up because I didn’t recognize his last name)]?

Weirder? I’ve another friend in this tiny province named Stephen who, by pure coincidence, has the same last name as Steve.

He wasn‘t suggested.

Yeah; AI’s going great.

One of the most underrated feature enhancements to and is how now reads out descriptions of images when receiving a text with AirPods in. Absolutely love using an internally developed and super awesome!
