I hope they get rid of it completely. People on r/locallama and others have made much better assistants using GPT which use iOS APIs to control the phone. It's ridiculous that Apple still hasn't done anything useful regarding Siri.
- michelb 3y agoIt's been in an 'AI' rewrite for a while now. Pretty sure we'll see something next year.
- astrange 3y agoIt's been rewritten several times, people largely don't notice because they don't try using it in different languages. And of course because they want to seem savvy so they repeat impressions from other people's posts, not realizing those posts are years old.
- ben_w 3y agoI'd be (pleasantly) surprised; look at how long it takes them to allow system apps to get replaced with downloadable 3rd party. And even then, the activation keyword is likely to be whatever Apple says. Similar logic as 3rd party keyboards, don't want user input to get stuck on even merely potentially untrustworthy or buggy code.
- spookthesunset 3y agoCorrect me if I’m wrong but isn’t the activation word “special” in that it has to work in very low power states? I always assumed that is why the wake words are fixed, because said words need to “fit” within a very small power budget.

- ben_w 3y agoI was not intending to imply otherwise.
