"Siri, save my ass!"

"I didn't understand what you said there."

Before everyone flies off the handle exclaiming Apple has lost their mind, read the story carefully.

This is a short film or rather an extended commercial. I don't view it any differently than the short films they create to open WWDC except they're releasing it in Youtube. It's simply an introduction to the new Siri with updates already announced. Perfect precursor to the new iPhone release coming soon.

I think Siri has something cool up its sleeve. I am sure Apple engineers are cooking something special for us. What do you guys think?

I sure hope they release VocalIQ tech the day this is released. Otherwise this film will be cringey.

Apple acquired VocalIQ long ago for very cheap. Basically "discovered" them. VocalIQ created an AI system that recognizes human speech %90 of the time where Siri is closer to %30.

and no they didn't just ask robotic questions but tested with actual conversation.
