  > Figure (8) shows a screen-shot from an iPhone after Siri, Apple’s AI ‘chatbot’, was asked to add a ‘litre of books’ to a shopping list; Siri’s response clearly demonstrates that it doesn’t understand language So his conclusion is based on Siri, an AI assistant I would agree was 'stupid', but not representative of SOTA. It's unfair to judge AI by Siri, Siri is a mass produced system with scaling costs, Apple can't host GPT-3 for everyone yet. Not even Google can use the latest and greatest neural nets in mass produced AI systems because they don't have the hardware and it would not make economical sense.
