Apple Faces Backlash Over Delayed Siri AI Features and Credibility Concerns
Critics highlight Apple's failure to deliver promised personalized Siri capabilities, raising questions about internal leadership and AI strategy.
- Apple's promised personalized Siri features, including contextual understanding and in-app actions, have been delayed until at least later this year, according to the company.
- John Gruber, a prominent Apple commentator, criticized the company for promoting features that were not ready, labeling them as 'concept videos' and 'bullshit.'
- The delay has sparked broader concerns about Apple's ability to compete in AI, as rivals like Google and OpenAI advance with more sophisticated offerings.
- Apple's credibility is under scrutiny, with analysts noting a shift from its historically reliable delivery of announced features to overpromising and underdelivering.
- Observers argue that internal leadership must address the situation to prevent further erosion of Apple's culture of excellence and its reputation for innovation.
