Siri in iOS 18: An AI revolution, or a sometimes useful dumpster fire?

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/04/siri-dumpster-fire-1.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600)</div><p>Siri launched with the iPhone 4S (https://9to5mac.com/2011/09/26/the-new-iphone/) in October 2011 (https://9to5mac.com/2011/10/04/lets-talk-iphone-liveblog/), replacing Voice Control with a more capable virtual assistant. A dozen years later, Siri has evolved into the primary way we interact with our Apple products.</p>



<p>Wait, no, I’m being told Siri sounds more natural but the core technology is roughly the same. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence now means generative AI and chat bots are based on large language models. </p>



<p>Siri and the rest of iOS 18  (https://9to5mac.com/2024/03/18/ios-18-ai-features-rumors/)will join the AI revolution in June (https://9to5mac.com/2024/03/26/wwdc-2024-official-date-confirmed/), ending our long national nightmare of Siri being somewhere between hot garbage and kinda useful sometimes. At least that’s what’s being reported, but we don’t really have a great sense of what to expect yet.</p>
