AI for consumers is not a logic problem, it's a data problem. Whether strong or weak, consumer AI needs to be personal. It needs access to personal data. Certainly better logic will create the foundations of whatever system is developed, but this only needs to be solved once. Smart people will solve it, and Apple could very well buy this answer in an acquisition if no one beats them to it. But the main problem is still with feeding the system food for thought, so to speak. Data is the fuel. Apple barely has any data. So in this sense, Apple could never win because it doesn't have a fuel source. And consumers will have a hard time allowing Facebook or Google to sell their data to Apple. For even now, the whole premise of this data collection is that their privacy is still being protected and is mostly for ad targeting. But this fuel is their bread and butter. It's no coincidence that ads are the main revenue for both companies. And only they are in a position to leverage their data for personal AI. Ultimately though, neither Google nor Facebook have all the important stuff, and their data is always a product of their other services, which will always make it partial. For example, Amazon may have data on your shopping habits on Amazon, but won't have data for other things. What is needed is a personal data mining system. This system needs to be owned, and not sponsored. It needs to be open source, so there are no ulterior secrets. And it needs to be able to gather fuel from Google and Facebook and everyone you give data to. The future will be more about us tracking ourselves than corporations tracking us in secret. Maybe call the system "Introspection". It will happen one way or another, because there is immense value in such a system. And it can happen now, because it's about the data. Logic can be updated when better systems are developed. The data just needs to be collected, and already, there are enough tools to make data about ourselves insightful.
