They already have. Apple calls theirs "siri". The dumb part here is a company getting attention for making a virtual assistant just because they added "AI".

- thih9 3y agoSiri is no longer seen as an AI assistant, at least not with the post-chatgpt meaning of the word 'AI'.
- cogman10 3y agoI agree, it is a looks problem. Capability wise, Siri and Google assistant do most of what rabbit did. They are well positioned to be able to expand every bit as quickly as rabbit can.
- brevitea 3y agoOne notable difference is that Apple and Google don't have your interaction data at the end of the day. Well, unless Rabbit sells it to them.
- marcinzm 3y agoYou do realize Google and Apple control 100% of the phone market, right? They don't need Rabbit's interaction data. They have their own. Their beta users probably provide more data than Rabbit's whole user base will.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoHuawei alone has >5%, and definitely at least a fifth of that install base is on harmonyos 4 which runs on a unique microkernel. So there's no way this is true. Google and Apple probably don't even control 95% circa Q1 2024.
- surajrmal 3y agoIsn't harmony os 4 still running their kernel side by side with Linux and ostensibly still using android? If harmony os next takes off that will be interesting.
- threeseed 3y agoWe are 6 weeks away from WWDC where Apple will be launching their new Siri. And we already know they are building a LAM for it. It’s likely one of the reasons Rabbit was rushed out the door.
- whoitwas 3y agoMaybe Siri isn't. I'm not even sure I've ever seen anyone use it successfully. I'm pretty sure Google's assistant was built using ML.
- VelesDude 3y agoYep, the meaning AI of is always changing. Search used to be considered AI because it could interpret human input.
- Torn 3y agoSiri is nowhere near an AI assistant or even a decent AI query bot. It mostly does simple commands and for the rest kicks you to web search results. Apple surely understand the opportunity here, maybe their view is LLMs are just too variable / hallucinate too much to go all-in on it?
- emehex 3y agoWWDC is in June. Lots of us are expecting better LLM integration and SDKs to be released then...
