Mark Gurman pulls together a bunch of Siri AI news for Bloomberg:

The company has been planning an announcement of the new Siri in the second half of February, when it will give demonstrations of the functionality.

Also more details about cloud-based models. On-device just isn’t good enough yet.

@manton I am really worried that my Mac ecosystem is going to go to shit - when they insert their SIRI AI into everything. I really prefer to use AI as an app. I open it. Use it. Close it.

@terrygrier It’s a fair concern. In theory, Siri could be amazing, but feels like expectations are low that Apple can pull it off.

@manton They might allow us to turn it off … hopefully.

@manton I’m on iPhone 13 which means I definitely won’t be getting any of this. Nor Ai. Which suits me just fine. For what I use Siri, it meets all my needs just fine.

@manton The same goes for my Mac’s. They are on Big Sur as their final MacOS due to their age.

Which means I don’t have to deal with all the issues Apple introduced in later versions of macOS. Especially all the issues in Tahoe.

Sometimes having older Apple hardware is a bonus.

@manton it’s not that Siri is bad, it’s just mindblowing how every other assistant got better as Siri by multiple orders of magnitude
