the number one reason is that Siri is an embarrassment. And that has become so much clearer now with ChatGPT and Claude next to it. Everyone is simply thinking: why can't we have that. Why do we have to talk to a low quality agent that can't answer basic questions while i can also walk around with my airpods in having a full conversation with ChatGPT.

I understand it is not that easy. But Apple has been neglecting Siri, or maybe failed to improve it, for so many years. And now the perception is that there is just no excuse anymore.

Maybe it’s due to cost? I’m curious to know whether Apple fine tuned the Siri LLM to run lean in order to save money, and in the same vein that OpenAI loses money on even the paid queries. It has to break even somewhere unless hydro becomes miraculously free.

There is no Siri LLM. It’s a dumb pattern matcher on a static list of phrases and intents.
