Man, I only have one thing about the pseudo-AI craze that I'd like to hear from Apple to get my business: Seeing how their current top end SoC is so powerful, stop sending all sorts of data to external parties to offload the compute requirements to make stuff like Siri work.
- nicky0 10y agoI thought Apple specifically didn't send your data to external parties. That's one of the reason Siri is behind Google, which does send you data to their servers.
- icebraining 10y agoAFAIK that's not correct, which is why it doesn't work offline. See e.g.: "[Nuance rep] said that Siri has both embedded and cloud technology for voice recognition, but that the feature is overall a cloud solution." http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/05/30/nuance-confirms-its-technology-is-behind-apples-siri http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/05/30/nuance-confirms-it...
- honkhonkpants 10y agoThat's completely backwards. If you try to use Siri while your phone is offline, it reads "Siri not available / Connect to the Internet." Google's voice system works perfectly well offline. You can dictate, or you can issue commands that don't require network access.
- delinka 10y agoSiri does indeed send your voice requests off to a server to be 'understood.' But, IIRC, it's all Apple-owned with no third parties involved.
