It was new and advanced back then.

AI is not only software but also hardware. Apple were the first to develop a (good) chip specifically for AI computation (ANE), and their MacBooks are very good for running AI models locally.

Apple are not like Google or Facebook (they're mainly software, and Apple are titled more towards hardware), their vision isn't the same as theirs, but their vision will hold for a very long time.

Siri was bought for $200 million in 2010 from Stanford Research Institute ( hence the name ). It wasn't developed at Apple.
