I don't care much about Siri, and not a lot about Apple (other than as an investment), but Apple is generally really good about putting out polished tech, and so I'm curious if Siri AI will be up to their usual standards, because if so, it represents a significant usage of AI that has solved hallucination issues.

But that's a big If!

With the amount of people that have iphones in this world, I am more than sure that somebody will be able to make it do something wrong.

Apple knows this which is why it is taking years to test and iron out the kinks. But somebody somewhere will make it hack a social media account, or give over somebody elses credentials, or generate illegal child images etc.

The big if is does it work on device without phoning home? For example, Google or Meta as a Ad/data collection company wants to phone home for everything because they want to collect data on you, what will this Apple solution do?
There's extensive writing about Apple's Private Cloud Compute architecture.

It's beyond my expertise, but it's publicly available if you're curious.

You clearly never used Siri before
