Pretty sure Siri is machine learning...?

Even if it wasn't, they could just hire a bunch of PhD students, maybe acqui-hire a couple of tech companies with their ludicrous amounts of available capital and bam, they have their machine learning algorithm

Siri's voice recognition is awful compared to Google Now and Cortana. It has refused to recognize my accent ever, to the point where it seems almost racist.

Not that voice recognition products count as machine learning. Google has a growing neural network, Apple is not competing in that market at all.
