This is a bit silly. What will they have lost, exactly?
I think they’re likely scrambling right now like every company with a speech-to-text or AI-type product. And they’ll be angling to do it in an Apple way — released when they feel confident they have a great product.
I wouldn’t put it past them to discuss it before they launch, however — they’ve been looser-lipped in the last years (ie abt their headset), I would guess to keep mindshare, basically.
- michelb 4y agoFor now they have only lost out on hype. There are some nice AI products about to roll out, but haven’t yet(announced, limited availability) and are definitely not polished for mainstream use. Hopefully Apple will rearchitect Siri at some point. Other then that, I’ll wait and see which “AI products” from the past months will actually still be relevant in 6 months from now.
- SxC97 4y agoApple is already rolling out new text-to-speech models to automate audio book narrations on their ebook platform. Having heard the samples, it sounds better than most tts models available. I imagine apple already has plans in place to integrate _some _ new Ai tools into their products, but I think they will probably wait for things to settle before making a bigger commitment. I think apple is well positioned to either buy an AI startup or integrate open source projects into their ecosystem and create a “Her” like product. Where a context aware assistant is consistent across your various operating systems. I don’t think any of the other vendors have quite the ecosystem to pull it off.
