It’s time to kill Siri

However, it’s fair to say that Apple and also Alexa of Amazon had a cultural cabbat that Google Assistant has never liked. Was unusual to hear the name of siri or Alexa in a movie or show tv; were much more recognized that the generic voice assistant. This may be because Amazon decided to keep Alexa Brand and only add a “” + “icon to denote the new Soupafata version of Alexa Powered From the latest big-language models-and maybe because apple is still pending on siri.

This might be all right if apple has to be invented on his promise and released a functioning sites, very improved when originating. With a massage of massive marketing to put apple intelligence in the mind of all (perhaps a regient), you would have been a great opportunity for wow users with a very improved siri. The next month, customers let them ask why Sidi-New Weaver and everyone is still lags behind.

But the most wider problem that all the great language models is only the brand, but the user interfur. Harrison started to command command days and change to the chat (GU) interface in I ’80 and ’90s. Was not graphically they made the ultimate more popular but the discocibbule expplorable interface. In the line-line-line, you had to remember how to do something. With gui, you could put anyone in front of a computer, and they might understand how to navigate the operating system.

If you put someone in front of charts, you say it is an incredible tool, and tell him something, they only look at the light prompt. “It’s like we came in 30 years in the design of the interface. They have no idea of ​​doing or doing.” Harrison says that exact experiment with his parents: they asked for what time tomorrow, and have you answered that it doesn’t have that information.

“We regress in find out,” he says. “A regular person, not the technical people, if all made it has been sex with Siri for the last 10 years, and now they should be different problem. Anything is important to the application.”

Saying goodbye to Mairi would be a great move for Apple – after all, he has passed more than a dozen invest in it. It most people still have music, check the time and start, you will also move the Borders of their abilities and relatively limited. It is hard to see that changes in ever soon, even if the function of the siri-first the next generation arrives as promised.

“For 99 percent of the planet, this type of revolution has totally gone over her head“Harrison says. As the command’s transition to the command line, do not use these personal voice assistants take time, but maybe a new name will have to shop with the transion.
