There’s a lot more to ML than just Siri. Photos, for example, utilizes it pretty heavily. Here’s an interview with their AI chief to give you an idea of the scope:

- fastball 6y agoNo that's my point. They seem fairly competent at doing ML in basically every other application they're using it for. But Siri still sucks. If they were generally bad at ML I'd understand. But they're not. They make their own TPU-type things FFS.
- vlozko 6y agoAll I have are second-hand accounts as to why. They have a sizable Siri team in Boston and a good friend of mine interviewed there. This friend asked a number of questions regarding tech stack and their SCM only to discover what a complete mess it was. It was enough so that he was turned off by it. Again, second-hand account. It leads me to suspect that the struggle has always been to technical issues rather than product. It also might be that Apple hasn’t seen voice control as an area of growth or enhancement to experiences long term. Maybe those who have Alexas and all of its processing capabilities end up just using it for timers and dictionary definition lookups.
- whoisburbansky 6y agoThe only hits I get for SCM are Supply Chain Management, which doesn't make a ton of sense to me in this context. What do you mean by that acronym?
