Apple’s Siri Got an A.I. Brain Transplant. Try These 5 Prompts to Get Acclimated.
Apple has released a significant upgrade to Siri, incorporating large language model capabilities to make the assistant behave more like a modern AI chatbot. The updated version is described as imperfect but a meaningful departure from its previous form.
Why this matters: Siri is already on hundreds of millions of devices. Most people never opted into having an AI chatbot there. Now one is built in, and the default is to use it. That matters because a more capable Siri can do more with your data — contacts, messages, calendars, app activity. The upgrade may be useful. But more capable also means more access. It is worth understanding what the new Siri can reach before you start talking to it like it is a trusted assistant.
