Many of these articles talking about AI, especially with Siri or other Apple products, are about it understanding context.
Siri has worked pretty well for me though I don't use it often, but there have been occasions where I have asked a question and it has responded as if I was searching for restaurants. That tightens the search quite a bit, and is completely off if I'm not looking for restaurants.
And I know I've given the example before, but years ago I wanted to search for "4 poster bed" on craigslist. It said 4 was too common, so pulled it out of the search. And for poster, for some reason the search looked at the fully created pages instead of just the content, and so the message of something like "don't contact this poster for non-related things", that is the default and so on 99+% of the pages, was found. So basically the search was just for "bed".
These days I put in ands, ors, and parenthesis on my searches there. But at that time the search was just not working.
From the "I want AAPL to shoot up like a meme stock" perspective, what I don't think will happen but would be the best of both worlds would be to release helpful and well thought out things for most people, but then also have some extra "still in development" choices that could show that they are pushing the envelope. They do this with the beta program, so it's not completely outlandish. But it probably won't happen.
In the end there is a high mark to hit for the mainstream market. Like with Siri, do you keep using it if 50% of your use attempts fail? What about 1 in 10 failing? 1 in 100? There's some failure level that is unacceptable to the masses, which varies on the product. But those failures should be more limited as things better understand the context of the query.

When Siri became the butt of jokes with the tech community you know that it was a failure. "Did you hear the one about a person that had an emergency and asked Siri to send help and about 30 minutes later someone arrived with a package of kelp?" ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

Today took out the old highs except for the 199+. Only hurtle between here and clear skies. Talking heads are increasingly bullish on the financial channels. Has someone tested Siri against the CoPilot? I have a programmer friend who loves copilot because you can converse with it and keep "digging deeper". I think you get the same answers for many thing via google quicker.

I've been playing with Perplexity - would be impressive if Siri could/would get such results. www.perplexity.ai

I use Siri mostly for easily obtainable information like weather or sports scores. My wife is a sports fan, so when she's wondering how badly the SF Giants are losing, I always suggest she just ask Siri. Or, if I happen to wonder how much is 481,416 times 281,620...I just ask Siri...it's 135,576,373,920, BTW. How to use Siri on your Mac

I see NVDA is a nose ahead of AAPL in market cap.
So much momentum. Up 5.16% at close.
Stellar.

I use Siri mostly for easily obtainable information like weather or sports scores. So far I dislike all of them. I have Siri on all my Apple devices, I have Alexa in my kitchen (and on my phone) and I have HeyGoogle in my bedroom (and on my phone). And I don't really like, or use, any of them. Basically we mostly use Alexa to run kitchen timers for us and to tell me when Amazon has a package arriving at our home.
