It’s Time to Kill Siri

However, it is fair to say that Apple and even Amazon Alexa have a cultural cache that Google Assistant has never enjoyed. There was nothing unusual to hear the name of Siri or Alexa on a movie or TV show; They were much more recognized than Google’s generic-name voice assistant. This is why Amazon has decided to hold Alexa branding and just decide to add a “+” icon to explain the new one Alexar’s soupd-up version driven By the latest largest language models – and probably Apple still hangs in Siri.

If Apple actually gives her promise and reveals a effective, much better series, it is ok if it was originally said. By pushing a huge marketing to keep Apple’s intelligence in everyone’s mind (May be a regret), It was a great opportunity to carry out users with many advanced series. A few months later, customers are wondering that Siri – new appearance and all – are still lagging behind.

However, a wide range of problems affecting all large language models is not only branding, but the user interface. Harrison compared it to the command-line computing days and transferred to the graphical user interface (GUI) in the 80s and 90s. It was not graphic that made the latter more popular, but inventibility and exploratable interfaces. In the command-line era, you need to remember how to do something. With GUI, you can put someone in front of the computer and will be able to determine how they navigate the operating system.

If you put someone in front of Chatzipt or Jemini, say it an incredible tool and ask them to ask something, they will just look empty at the flashing prompt. “It’s that we have returned for 30 years in the interface design they have no idea what they have to do or what to say” “Harrison says he did this correct test with his parents: they asked what the weather was tomorrow and AI responded that it didn’t have information.

“We have reacted with inventibility,” he said. “A regular person, not a technician, if they do what they do, they set the timer with Siri for the last 10 years, and now they have to think about it in a fundamental way – this is a very difficult problem. The naming of the app is going to be some kind of important.”

Goodbye to Siri will be a big step for Apple – above all, it has spent more than a decade investment. But today most people still use it to play music, test the weather and determine the timers, and even their present, relatively limited, the boundaries are not pushing the boundaries. It is very difficult to see that change at any time soon, even though the next generation of the next generation features the features of Siri.

“For 99 percent of the planet, this type of AI revolution is fully Passed over their heads“Harrison says. The conversion of 10 years from the command line to the graphical user interface will take time and education to reconsider the way we use these personal voice auxes, but perhaps a new name will help transform Apple to Apple.
