Apple plans for a smarter LLM-based Siri smart assistant – Computerworld

What will Smart Siri do?

This smarter Siri will be able to hold conversations, and drill into enquiries, just like those competing engines — particularly Advanced Voice Mode on ChatGPT. Siri’s responses will also become more human, enabling it to say, “I have a stimulating relationship with Dr. Poole,” and for you to believe that.

These conversations won’t only need to be the equivalent of a visit to the therapist on a rainy Wednesday; you’ll also be able to get into fact-based and research-focused conversations, with Siri dragging up answers and theories on command.

In theory, you’ll be able to access all the knowledge of the internet and a great deal of computationally-driven problem solving from your now-much-smarter smartphone. Apple’s ambition is to replace, at least partially, some of the features Apple Intelligence currently hands off to ChatGPT, though I suspect the iPhone maker will be highly selective in the tasks it does take on.
