The scenario in the article, about how AI is "usually" right in queries like "which airport is my mom's flight landing at and when?" is exactly the problem with Google's AI summaries as well. Several times recently I've googled something really obscure like how to get fr*king suspend working in Linux on a recent-ish laptop, and it's given me generic pablum instad of the actual, obscure trick that makes it work (type a 12-key magic sequence, get advanced BIOS options, pick an option way down a scrolling list to nuke fr*king modern suspend and restore S3 sleep... happiness in both Windows and Linux in the dual boot environment). So it just makes the answers harder to find, instead of helping.
But Google have a big problem in that the internet is full of random crap and people trying to actively mess with them.
Siri on the other hand should have access to definitely non-noise data like: your calendar. The message your mom sent to say ‘see you at _____ airport and your entire chat history with her.
I am 100% certain that if you gave GPT4 this info, it could EASILY get this right 100% of the time.
Apple’s ability to make Siri do anything useful with AI is totally incomprehensible and it is definitely not a problem with AI.
It could well be a problems with running a very tiny AI on device. I would not trust even GPT 3.5 with this task and it is a lot more capable than anything an iPhone could run.
