OpenAI, backed by Microsoft, released a new language model called GPT-4. Google said it is integrating AI into its Workspace tools like Gmail and Docs. Microsoft Bing has drawn attention to itself with a chatbot-enabled search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People have long complained that Siri doesn&#8217;t understand queries (including mine). Siri (and other assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant) can&#8217;t understand the different accents and phonetics of people in different parts of the world, even if they speak the same language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ChatGPT&#8217;s new fame and text-based search make it easy for people to interact with various AI models. But for now, the only way to chat with Siri, Apple&#8217;s artificial intelligence assistant, is to enable the feature in Accessibility Settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"966\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/03\/image-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12868\" \/><figcaption>Image Credit: Wang Gang\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In an interview with the NYT, John Burke, a former Apple engineer who worked on Siri, said the Apple Assistant has been slow to evolve because of &#8220;clunky code&#8221; that makes updating even basic functionality difficult. He also mentioned that Siri has a huge database with many words. So when engineers needed to add features, the database had to be rebuilt. The process reportedly took up to six weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NYT report did not clarify whether Apple is building its own language model or whether it wants to adopt an existing model. But like Google and Microsoft, Apple doesn&#8217;t want to limit itself to offering chatbots powered by Siri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple has generally kept quiet about its AI efforts. But in January, the company launched a program that offers authors an AI-powered narration service that converts books into audiobooks. This shows that iPhone makers are already thinking about generative AI use cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yuuma<\/p>\n<div class='wp_social_bookmarking_light'>\n            <div class=\"wsbl_google_plus_one\"><g:plusone size=\"medium\" annotation=\"none\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/archives\/12867\" ><\/g:plusone><\/div>\n            <div class=\"wsbl_hatena_button\"><a href=\"\/\/b.hatena.ne.jp\/entry\/https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/archives\/12867\" class=\"hatena-bookmark-button\" data-hatena-bookmark-title=\"Apple is working on language-generating AI\" data-hatena-bookmark-layout=\"standard\" title=\"\u3053\u306e\u30a8\u30f3\u30c8\u30ea\u30fc\u3092\u306f\u3066\u306a\u30d6\u30c3\u30af\u30de\u30fc\u30af\u306b\u8ffd\u52a0\"> <img src=\"\/\/b.hatena.ne.jp\/images\/entry-button\/button-only@2x.png\" alt=\"\u3053\u306e\u30a8\u30f3\u30c8\u30ea\u30fc\u3092\u306f\u3066\u306a\u30d6\u30c3\u30af\u30de\u30fc\u30af\u306b\u8ffd\u52a0\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" style=\"border: none;\" \/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/b.hatena.ne.jp\/js\/bookmark_button.js\" charset=\"utf-8\" async=\"async\"><\/script><\/div>\n            <div class=\"wsbl_twitter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/archives\/12867\" data-text=\"Apple is working on language-generating AI\" data-via=\"GIGASJAPAN_APPS\" data-lang=\"ja\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n            <div class=\"wsbl_facebook_like\"><div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/archives\/12867\" layout=\"button_count\" action=\"like\" width=\"100\" share=\"false\" show_faces=\"false\" ><\/fb:like><\/div>\n            <div class=\"wsbl_facebook_send\"><div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div><fb:send href=\"https:\/\/www.gigas-jp.com\/appnews\/archives\/12867\" colorscheme=\"light\" ><\/fb:send><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<br class='wp_social_bookmarking_light_clear' \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These days, almost every conversation in tech seems to center around AI and chatbots.
