French statesman Francois Guizot basically said the same thing from the other POV: "The world belongs to optimists. Pessimists are only spectators." Apple's AI strategy has a lot of cynics and pessimists -- and they sound pretty rational based on what we've seen over the past year. The long-awaited revamp of Siri has never materialized
