According to a source, new details about Apple’s plans were shared by the New York Times. Apple employees were informed at the company’s last AI summit that experiments with a new language model had begun.

The Siri team’s engineers are reportedly testing new and new prototypes of neural network speech models every week that could adequately respond to ChatGPT’s popularity. Source, after the OpenAI project appeared all voice assistants (Siri, Alexa and others) lost their leading positions and fell into the past.

Speaking of Siri in particular, the features of its design now seriously hinder its development in line with modern trends. For example, Siri still has a huge list of words and phrases in almost 20 languages, and experts call it a “big snowball” – if someone wants to add a new word, it flies “in one big pile.”

Actually the simplest updates, such as adding words and phrases, require rebuilding the entire Siri database in a few weeks. Due to such a “bulky design” it has not yet managed to become a “creative assistant” and remains “stupid” in the understanding of users. It’s possible that Apple almost had to rewrite its assistant to get rid of this clumsiness.

It is still too early to say any results. It is unlikely that we will see an announcement of this technology in the near future.
