"Musk's willingness to team up with Apple surfaced after an X user suggested replacing Siri with Grok 4.1 to modernize the AI assistant. The original post criticized Siri's limitations and urged Apple to adopt a more advanced AI system. "It's time for Apple to team up with xAI and actually fix Siri. Replace that outdated, painfully dumb assistant with Grok 4.1. Siri deserves to be Superintelligent," the X user wrote."
"Musk quoted the post, responding with, "I'm down." Musk's comment quickly attracted a lot of attention among X's users, many of whom noted that a Grok update to Siri would be appreciated because Apple's AI assistant has legitimately become terrible in recent years. Others also noted that Grok, together with Apple's potential integration of Starlink connectivity, would make iPhones even more compelling."
"The enthusiasm stems largely from Grok 4.1's technical strengths, which include stronger reasoning and improved creative output. xAI also designed the model to reduce hallucinations, as noted in a Reality Tea report. Supporters believe these improvements could address Apple's reported challenges developing its own advanced AI systems, giving Siri the upgrade many users have waited years for."
Siri has become widely outdated and has been outperformed by rival AI assistants. An X user urged Apple to replace Siri with Grok 4.1 to modernize the assistant, calling Siri painfully limited. Elon Musk responded to the suggestion by saying "I'm down," sparking attention and speculation about a collaboration. Grok 4.1 offers stronger reasoning, improved creative output, and reduced hallucinations. Supporters argue these strengths, possibly combined with Starlink connectivity, could address Apple's challenges developing advanced AI and provide the long-awaited upgrades to Siri. Reactions ranged from humorous to hopeful.
