Why is Siri, who has been spit out "artificial mental retardation", still so hot?

Siri has always been known for artificial mental retardation. It is only used to remind things when lying in bed, check the weather and set the alarm clock. These three scenes all feel good to use. Otherwise, he looks completely retarded, let alone let him chat with you. He will only answer you "I don't seem to understand".

However, Apple seems to have noticed that the company has such mental retardation and is determined to transform Siri. Especially after the launch of HomePod, HomePod has built-in Siri, which costs $349. If the user buys a mentally retarded speaker (although the sound quality is quite good), do you think anyone will complain about Apple's false propaganda: "This speaker is not smart at all!"

Therefore, in order to improve the current situation of Siri as soon as possible, according to the work list published by Thinknum recruitment data information website, Apple currently has 16 1 Siri-related recruitment positions, which is 24% higher than last month and a new high.

Since the spring of 20 17, the number of recruitment related to Siri has been increasing. Of the 16 1 Siri-related positions, 125 positions will be located at Apple headquarters, and other positions will be located in San Francisco, Shanghai and Cambridge. 16 1 positions include 154 positions related to software engineering, 1 positions related to design, 3 positions related to product management and 3 positions related to information system technology.

Of course, in addition to recruiting Siri-related personnel from the society, Apple also recruited some technical talents from some big companies. As we all know, Apple has dug up Michael Abbott, who served as vice president of Twitter engineering, team leader of Microsoft Azure cloud platform, senior vice president of handheld services, and participated in webOS application development. After joining Apple, he may start the research and development of Siri under the leadership of Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering.
