I've known Siri, Apple's voice assistant, for almost a dozen years, and yet I still can't recall a single meaningful conversation we've had. Conversely, ChatGPT and I have known each other for six months and yet we've talked about everything from the meaning of life to planning a romantic dinner for two and have even collaborated on programming and film projects. I mean, we have a relationship.
Siri's limits mean it still can't carry on a conversation or engage in a lengthy, project-oriented back and forth. For better or worse, the Siri we use today on our iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, Apple Watches, and Apple TVs isn't much different than the one we first encountered in 2011 on an iPhone 4s.
