Apple's Siri Still Needs To Be Significantly Improved

By Baron Scott


Artificial Intelligence has entered a new stage. Apple's personal assistant Siri has attracted everyone's attention. However, there are some problems in recent.

According to foreign media reports, Apple's new service Siri, after solving the technical problems, is again put into use. But it is not certain how long this can run smoothly. Why Apple can not properly use the cloud service?

Apple's MobileMe Web service suite can be described as a nightmare of the company due to its long downtime. Apple's Siri currently looks like a repeat of this error. Although its design is better than MobileMe, it has frequent problems from the initial release of the application. It even more can not work properly recently.

For a product, no matter how powerful its cloud services and how beautiful the user interface design, when the users can not use it normally it is a waste. It is especially for services such as Siri. Apple's server downtime makes it even lost the most basic functions. Because Siri relies mainly on the server to carry out the main computational tasks of speech recognition, if there is no network connection, the service is completely useless.

The analysts (http://www.usb-peripheral.com/) of the industry said that the recent outbreak of the problem is the most serious and longest. The problem can be traced back to the release date of October 14. Although Apple's current released Siri is beta, but the results also confirmed this product will also require a great effort in the improvement. However, the bet left the company the room for further development. At present, Siri is only used for 4S. Although some hackers say that Siri can also be used in other versions of iPhone and iPad, Apple has not yet developed servers for these products.

If Apple wants this new virtual assistant product continues to develop and promote, it must seriously address the existing problems so that more hardwares can support Siri. It needs to release product similar to Google's Status Dashboard to inform the users the real time problem of Siri. We are looking forward to the appearance of a more and more intelligent, more user-friendly "Siri".
