What commenters say

  • The demo video for Siri AI is underwhelming and does not show any significant improvements over the current Siri capabilities.
  • The new Siri AI may be using Google-developed technology, such as Gemini, which could raise questions about Apple's ability to develop its own AI solutions.
  • The name 'Apple Intelligence' is seen as uncreative and may not be effective in rebranding Siri, which has a reputation for being unreliable.
  • The integration of Siri AI into Apple devices and apps may not be seamless, and users may experience latency or other issues.
  • The use of the term 'AI' in the name 'Siri AI' may be seen as misleading, as it implies a level of artificial intelligence that may not be fully realized.
  • Some users are skeptical about the ability of Siri AI to deliver on its promises, given the history of Siri's limitations and failures.
  • The decision to release Siri AI in stages, with some features available only on certain devices or in certain regions, may create confusion and frustration among users.
  • The comparison between Siri AI and other AI assistants, such as Gemini, may be unfair, as each has its own strengths and weaknesses.
