Apple, which is invincible in the fields of smartphones, tablets, and wearables, is relegated to the field of intelligent voice assistants. From this point on, the released home-grown Siri's smart speaker HomePod can be viewed by the user. Out.
Apple HomePod Regarding the emergence of this result, Norman Winarsky, who has been hailed as the “father of Siri,” believes that because of Apple’s high expectations for Siri, it has set a goal that is too broad. In short, it believes that Apple is too hasty about Siri. As we all know, Siri is not Apple's own research product, but it was acquired in 2010 with 200 million US dollars.
Winarsky stated that the original intention of launching Siri was to use it as an entertainment and tourism aid. He said, 'Siri was only used as a travel and entertainment assistant before it was acquired by Apple. For example, when you arrive at the airport, if you When the flight is cancelled, Siri will inform you immediately and find other ways to reach the destination.
Father of Siri Norman Winarsky Winarsky continues to explain: 'When your company needs to serve up to 1 billion users, there are many problems in achieving this goal, and with the advancing of time, problems will become more and more difficult. They want to achieve perfection. The goal may never be reached.'
We know that now Siri is an 'all-round' product that can help users solve any problems in their life, including making phone calls, checking the weather, navigation, etc. But it is due to Apple's change in Siri positioning. Siri is inferior to Amazon Alexa, Google Google Assistant, Samsung Bixby, and other competing products in IQ.
Apple Siri It seems that Winarsky's explanation still holds some truth. However, I believe that as Apple continues to increase its R&D and data training on Siri, whether Siri will continue to be weak in the future, we still have to wait and see.
