This update lets Siri remember you, so take two minutes to check which apps you want it to avoid. Apple has been moving slowly in this AI race. They had a few false starts, went back to the drawing board, brought in a new partner (Google), downgraded others (OpenAI), and launched a bunch of hardware devices to make it run smarter.
While Apple has been a late entrant in devices, services, and software, they take their time to understand the market, integrate more tightly into their ecosystem, and “convince” us we can’t live without whatever service, device, or software they launch.
For me, the problem is that I’m already deep into using Codex, Claude, and Gemini. Adding Siri AI into the mix will make it more of a “fun thing to try” and help others who don’t go deep into other AI services. “Hey Siri! Teach me about your new skills and capabilities!”
