There is nothing more frustrating than asking Siri a question about the iPhone only to hear the ol’ gal say those six discouraging words: “I found this on the web.” Even more frustrating is when Siri gives you three websites to peruse and Google Assistant gives you the answer immediately and clearly without you having to go read three excerpts from three different websites.
Siri is expected to be much improved after Apple gives the digital assistant generative AI capabilities
For example, I asked Siri to tell me the resolution of the screen used on the original iPhone. Siri apparently does not care about her ancestry since she disseminated three brief excerpts from three websites so I could dig through them to find the answer. Ask Google Assistant the same question and the response says, “The iPhone’s screen is a 320 x 480 resolution LCD screen at 163 ppi that measures about 3.5 inches diagonally, much bigger than most other phones at the time, and the iPhone was the first mobile phone with multi-touch technology.” That is a perfect response.
So it all comes down to June 10th when we get our first look at what Apple has in mind to improve iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS using AI. Besides Siri, Apple is expected to work some AI magic on apps like Siri, Safari, Spotlight Search, Messages, and Mail.
