Apple's Siri revamp reportedly delayed again

Let’s not mince words.

If my device is “suggesting” a hotel or restaurant, or wherever, that’s advertising.

Advertising is largely self-praise.

And self praise is no recommendation.

Or perhaps I misunderstood, and you were suggesting ignoring the recommendations of one’s travel companions.

If my phone ever starts not clearly separating "editorial content" and advertisements, it won't remain my phone for long.

There’s no “if” to it. LLM-driven features will be monetized. Investors/shareholders will insist.

You do realize that Google Maps prioritizes what's displayed on the map based on corporate relationships & money exchanged, right?

In my area lots of smaller accommodations don't show up on Google Maps already because they're not sold via OTA and Google can't earn their share.

1. Open Google Maps

2. Search "hotel"

3. Pick the first one

4. See "sponsored" just before the first link to a third party
