Two years and a $250 million lawsuit later, Apple's AI Siri is getting an overhaul. But will these new features make my life easier or just more complicated?

I still don’t trust large language models (LLMs) to provide accurate information consistently, I find it ethically questionable to use AI to help me write, and I’m not dying for a Studio Ghibli makeover.

What does tempt me is the idea of Siri becoming my personal Emily from ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ – anticipating my needs before I do. Imagine your phone reminding you about meals with friends or picking up prescriptions, all without lifting a finger. Sounds convenient, right?

The new Siri is designed to use 'personal context,' which means it can read and understand data from various Apple apps. It’s like having a personal assistant that knows everything about me – but where’s the line between convenience and privacy invasion?

Apple claims their private cloud compute (PCC) technology keeps my data secure, but even if that's true, I’m still wary of handing over my personal information to any tech giant. The real question is: do we want to be so reliant on AI that we forget the basics of human interaction?
