Seeing people who aren’t developers create apps through vibe coding lately has reminded me of something from two years ago that bodes well for the future of Siri. Vibe coding is the term assigned to the process of building apps using AI by describing the app that you want to exist. Vibe coders need no prior knowledge of app development. AI tools like ChatGPT provide the expertise. Vibe coders just bring the vision. The thing that vibe coding reminded me of is a Wayne Ma report for The Informat

Apple has floundered in its efforts to bring a convincing AI product to the table — so much so that it's become the subject of derision even among its own employees, The Information reports. More specifically, it's the AI and machine-learning group that's getting the lion's share of mockery. Known as AI/ML for short, its woes only deepened after Apple announced that it had to delay its much-hyped next iteration of AI enhancements for Siri until 2026.

Here’s a weird one. My son and I were discussing shapes on the drive to school earlier this week. His question for me was, “What is the name of the shape that looks like a square with uneven sides?” I’m now in the habit of saying “ask ChatGPT” before any Siri request that isn’t taking an action like creating a reminder or sending a message. In this instance, though, I picked up my iPhone and pressed the Action button to open Advanced Voice Mode on ChatGPT. The results satisfied his curiosity.

Apple's WWDC 25 software presentation is set for June 9.

If this startup founder is able to productize AI, finally fix Siri, and unlock a wealth of new revenue streams for Apple, I would argue that she might also be a future Apple CEO candidate someday.

Still, Apple was entranced by the possibilities, as was then-CEO Steve Jobs. “This was Steve's last deal,” Siri cofounder Tom Gruber told WIRED. “He was personally involved in all stages of the deal, negotiating the deal and following through, making sure that we were successful at Apple after they bought us.” However, other Apple execs who were around at the time paint the picture of a very flawed digital assistant that was never really up to the job that Apple sold us.

Tech products get delayed all the time, but Apple's recent acknowledgment that the next generation of Siri is delayed -- with no timeline beyond "in the coming year" -- is uncharacteristic for the typically secretive company. Even more unusual is that the problem isn't just with Future Siri. The current version of Apple's assistant seems to be regressing.
