Gene Munster’s grades: OpenAI’s ChatGPT gets an ‘A,’ Apple’s Siri gets an ‘F’


Longtime Apple analyst Gene Munster says that all that matters for Apple’s AI is this next version of Siri, which we should see by next June…

The combo of Siri and ChatGPT improved the quality of the results, but it took on average 5 to 10 seconds, underscoring one challenge of leveraging a third party LLM. The model mimics human rhythm and tone, even including natural pauses and filler words like “um” and “uh.” You can interrupt it mid-sentence, change direction, or go deeper and it keeps up. Apple’s high-profile missteps under Cook like the botched, delayed Apple Intelligence rollout, the now-canceled “Project Titan” debacle which reportedly cost in excess of $10 billion, the decade-and-a-half neglect of Siri, and the underwhelming Vision Pro highlight a disconnect from consumer needs.
