Apple Inc. is actively working to transform its virtual assistant Siri into a fully functional AI chatbot capable of web browsing, positioning it as a direct competitor to OpenAI's ChatGPT. Internal reports indicate that Apple executives believe the next-generation Siri, sometimes referred to as SiriGPT, is on par with ChatGPT in terms of capabilities. The development process faced challenges, particularly due to attempts to integrate legacy Siri code with new artificial intelligence features. Additionally, there was internal debate over whether to adopt Google's Gemini AI instead of ChatGPT technology. Despite these hurdles, Apple remains committed to advancing Siri's AI functionalities, although the timeline for the rollout of these enhancements remains unclear.
