Launched in 2011, Apple’s Siri has fallen behind tough competitors Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. However, according to recent reports, Siri is set to gain significant power with artificial intelligence this year. It’s suggested that Apple will enhance Siri with large language models (LLMs) technology to make it the “ultimate virtual assistant.”
Siri could soon be like ChatGPT: Major innovation from Apple!
Last December, Apple published research demonstrating the feasibility of running large language models on devices. This step is seen as a pathway to powering Siri with AI similar to ChatGPT.
This long-awaited update for iPhone users could endow Siri with natural conversation capabilities like ChatGPT. By training Siri (and the iPhone’s Spotlight search tool) with large language models, Apple aims to enable the virtual assistant to respond more accurately to queries.
LLMs have the capability to better understand human speech patterns and generate natural language. As a result, Siri could comprehend more complex and nuanced questions and provide accurate responses. According to Apple’s plans, Siri will be able to perform multi-step tasks more effectively.
For example, more complex tasks like converting a series of photos into a GIF and sending it to a contact could be executed with simple voice commands. This is considered a significant advancement in Siri’s capabilities.
There is curiosity about how these changes will transform user experience with Siri’s increased capabilities. Apple usually does not provide details about its products before launch, but more information about Siri’s AI plans might be revealed at the WWDC event in June.
The potential for Siri to communicate more effectively with users raises questions about how it will impact the overall use of Apple products. What do you think about this? Do you believe Siri could become a smart assistant like ChatGPT? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
