The idea is for the device to act like a person in a room. It could interrupt a conversation between friends about dinner plans, say, and suggest nearby restaurants or relevant recipes. It’s also being designed to engage in back-and-forth discussions for things like planning a trip or getting tasks done.
Sounds cool. But it has the same baggage all cloud AI has.
Nothing makes me tune out of a conversation faster than if someone injects a ChatGPT response into it.
That's bad enough, but now Apple wants to create a total surveillance device that not only listens to everything we say and uploads into their cloud, but also spits up random nonsense at random times?

I’m actually totally with you there.
There’s a chance Apple thinks they can make this work on-device with calls out for info only to grab the info. Not to upload logs of your conversations.
They are well aware of the myths that say voice assistants are streaming everything you say to their operators. I don’t think they want to do that.

Why? Like, seriously… Why?
AI news make the stock price go up

I imagine R.O.B will still be more useful.
So clippy?

Probably very non-Clippy…
Hmm, yet another feature to disable...I should hopefully be back on Android by then, however.
2027 is going to be unrecognizable from where we sit now. This is an apple shitpost at best.
Why? We already have devices with Siri. I also don’t want it to listen to conversations and interrupt me with useless information.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s cute and cool tech (there was a video about it months ago) but I just don’t see the benefit.
I promise you they’re not.
