Doubt it. Of all the issues I run into with Siri none could be solved by throwing AI slop at it. Case in point: if I ask Siri to play an album and it can't match the album name it just plays some random shit instead of erroring out.

Um if I ask an LLM about a fake band it literally say I couldn't find any songs by the fake band did you type is correctly and it's about a millions times more likely to guess correctly. Why do you say it doesn't solve loads of things? I'm more concerned about the problems it creates (prompt injection, hallucinations in important work, bad logic in code), the actual functionality will be fantastic compared to Siri right now!

Because I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs waiting for random pages to go through their anti-LLM bot crap. LLMs create more problems than they solve.

Um if Apple wrote proper error handling in the first place the issue would be solve without LLM baggage. Apple made a conscious decision to handle "unknown" artists this way, LLMs don't change that.
