Knowing Apple's (software) prowess in AI the end-result will still likely be shit compared to Google.

(I think what we are seeing here is the usual thing where Apple's software/product/design people decide the iPhone hardware roadmap, rather than the hardware people.)

Siri vs Google assistant. Google assistant being way better in understanding voice and performing tasks. I've used both iPhone and Pixel and I can confirm that Google assistant is way more smart and intelligent than Siri at this point.

Don't know why you're being downvoted, this has been my experience too. Siri feels more like a toy with its infuriating jokes and stunted capabilities, Google Assistant feels much more polished.

I have confidence that attempting a command I've never tried before with Google Assistant will work, with Siri it's potluck.

Yeah it's not even up for debate. Google is way ahead of Apple in Ai and just about nearly another we could name.

Wired recently did a test on major AI assistants with different accents and Google Assistant won every round (they gave the first round to siri for some reason but if you watch the video Assistant clearly won that round too)

It was astonishing how right Assistant can be

OS X has degraded over the last several years in terms of bugginess. Anecdotally.

It has gone from "it just works" to a source of annoyance. Although nothing can top my work computer (Windows 7) for irritation.

Siri is a bag of hurt. I bet Apple has a very useful library of recordings of people saying "damn it, that's not what I said."

Just thinking about how terrible Siri is makes me hope and pray that they really aren't working on any self-driving car software.
