en.Wedoany.com Reported - Apple's new AI-enhanced version of Siri has been unveiled as a public beta on iPhones and other devices, with a full release scheduled for this fall alongside iOS 27, macOS 27, and other OS 27 systems. The most notable feature of the new Siri is its businesslike demeanor, no longer attempting to be a companion to users.
The new Siri is neither rude nor disrespectful, but it no longer tries to ingratiate itself. It does not lavish praise on users or unnecessarily prolong conversations, instead executing commands concisely (with a few minor bugs) and then promptly exiting. After completing a task, a brief response like "Here you go" is about as enthusiastic as it gets.
Despite shedding its flattering tone, the new Siri still possesses considerable artificial intelligence capabilities. It can filter and organize emails, brainstorm ideas and save them into note files, and then place those files into any folder specified by the user.
A practical example is when a user asks about information for their child's class field trip; Siri can extract relevant data from emails and text messages, providing the meeting point, time, and the teacher's phone number. This kind of practical, everyday AI assistance is exactly what users need. Once the task is complete, Siri exits the interface.
Apple's understated approach to Siri contrasts with platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Some AI products often try to build rapport with users or mimic humans. According to reports this week, OpenAI's rumored ChatGPT smart speaker is designed to be "like a companion" and "connect with users on a human level." (OpenAI has not commented on this report.)
For now, the new Siri does not play the role of a companion or confidant, but rather a competent AI assistant. The ChatGPT app, upgraded with OpenAI's latest model, can currently perform tasks such as writing code, controlling computers, browsing the web, and publishing websites; OpenAI has also launched a mini keyboard for Codex hotkeys, priced at $230. Meta has removed the feature allowing deepfake face swaps on public Instagram photos. Anthropic and OpenAI have recently relaxed usage restrictions on their latest models, Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol.
