TL;DR
- The new Siri AI on iPhones can now perform basic AI tasks such as adding multiple calendar events from emails and diagnosing plant problems.
- While considered basic, the functionality is significant because it actually works as advertised, a key goal for Apple after previous unfulfilled promises.
- Siri AI uses a combination of on-device processing and Apple's Private Cloud Compute, drawing context from personal data like emails and messages.
- Compared to Google's Gemini, Siri AI is more direct and dispassionate in its responses, prioritizing efficiency over conversational empathy.
- The new Siri is integrated into various parts of the iPhone interface, making it easily accessible through search and the Dynamic Island.
- This improved Siri aims to restore customer trust by delivering on its promised capabilities, even if they are fundamental at this stage.
