Siri chaos: Why does Apple not get his better voice assistant

After the publication of Chatgpt in 2022, Apple is not said to have believed that chatbots users give users sufficient added value. The assessment is said to have come from at the top-Ki boss John Giannandrea- reports the IT magazine the information In a longer contribution to Apple’s problems with AI and the delayed, improved Siri. In the type of language models to be built by Apple, there are said to have been several changes of direction that delayed the project and caused displeasure among the developers. There is supposedly lacking management and design, and the Siri teams were not risky enough.

Ziellose AI troop?

Finally, Apple agreed on two models-“Mini Mouse” for on-Device AI on the iPhone and “Mighty Mouse” for a server version. After that, however, there was a return to a uniform cloud model again until you found the division between the two. The unclear strategy also led to employees.

The problem was also the top, which led to the fact that the group was broken internally as “Aimless” (for AI and ML and the English word “aimlessly”). Siri has long been considered a “hot potato”. Giannandrea initially thought that Siri problems could be solved with better training and web scraping. The team itself also took care of small improvements, such as the deletion of the “Hey” by “Hey Siri” to a simple “Siri” as a watchword.

Demo in the WWDC video not real

Some features in the Siri demo in the video for WWDC 2024 are actually not said to have been real. This included access to e-mails to query real-time information for flights or from iMessage messages messages about meal plans.

The demo was even a surprise for the team members. It is now clear that the function will only come next year. On test devices you only had the new design from Siri active, but not the real, improved AI. Well, under new leadership, everything should get better. Mike Rockwell was appointed a new Siri manager who has already released the Vision Pro, even though it was a completely new product for Apple.
