Apple wants their shit to be tight. They cannot release stuff that hallucinates.

I am guessing its against their philosophy to release product that only works sometimes from the get go. Thats why they have been so demure about whole AI stuff.



I do think in general, Apple is great at continuous improvement.

But have you used Siri?

“Only works sometimes”, yes if all you ever ask is “what time is it”, what’s the weather, and maybe 5-6 other canned prompts.

Half the time it doesn’t even understand or catch what’s being said. (Mainly talking about the HomePod, it generally works fine on an iPhone)

Siri is a great example of Apple being perfectly fine letting a product languish so what might’ve been great 10 years ago is a punchline now.
