I believe they'll come to terms with the challenges soon. Siri faced limitations because it didn't have access to the extensive 'internet of knowledge' that Google could utilize. Apple tried to close this gap by partnering with Yelp and Wolfram Alpha, but it didn't lead to a comprehensive solution.

Nowadays, the 'internet of knowledge' can be seen as a repository that's readily accessible. It's challenging, but not impossible, to create an AI system that outperforms Google Assistant. Developing something on par with GPT-4 in the immediate future? That's unlikely. We've moved from an era akin to sailboats to one more like steamships, where the pace of development is much quicker. OpenAI currently has a significant lead, but in this rapidly advancing field, the playing field could change faster than we might expect.
