Even with Google's help, we should still expect plenty of Siri glitches

""In the space of one week, we have seen the transformation of our expectations for the new Siri. Instead of having to wait for Apple to catch up with OpenAI and Google, we now need only to wait for the company to tweak the existing Gemini models. While that is indeed a dramatic turnaround, we still shouldn't expect overnight miracles from the new Siri whenever it does now launch ...""

""There were no demonstrations of any of that. Those features were all at level 0 on my [4-point] hierarchy. That level is called vaporware. They were features Apple said existed, which they claimed would be shipping in the next year, and which they portrayed, to great effect [but] was either unwilling or unable to demonstrate [...] even with Apple product marketing reps performing the demos from a prepared script using prepared devices.""

Expectations for Siri changed within a week as Apple confirmed a partnership to run Google's Gemini models on Apple servers. Google’s Gemini is widely regarded as competitive with or outperforming OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Google released Gemini Personal Intelligence in beta, enabling retrieval of specific details from text, photos, or videos across Google apps to customize responses. That beta preview indicates the capabilities likely to appear in the new Siri. John Gruber previously categorized many Siri features as 'vaporware' because they were advertised but not demonstrable. Despite the partnership and Gemini’s preview, major improvements to Siri should not be expected to appear overnight.
