「SiriはGPT-4レベルに到達する直前だった」──こんな内容の記事が海外で話題になっています。The VergeやAppleインサイダー系メディアが報じていて、Appleの内部事情の一端が透けて見える内容なんです。

Appleは2024年のWWDCでApple Intelligence（生成AI機能）を発表しました。ところがその裏側では、独自のLLM開発を続けながら「OpenAIやGoogleに追いつけるか」の判断を何度も繰り返していたとのこと。

So, what’s up with Siri lately? Honestly, I sometimes feel like, “Still not there yet?!” We’ve been waiting for a new, super smart Siri for ages, and it just hasn’t arrived. Some people are even getting a little cynical, wondering if AI is just all hype.

But guess what? I was reading an international article that totally blew my mind! It’s from 9to5Mac, titled "Siri will continue to be incompetent … until it very suddenly isn’t". The author said that people tend to see AI in extremes – either as a villain or a hero, a child or a professor. I totally agree!

Siriの課題はアーキテクチャにあった

报道によると、Siriの問題はモデル性能というより「アーキテクチャの設計」にあったとのこと。各アプリと連携する部分の設計が複雑すぎて、新しい能力を追加するたびに予期しない動作が出てしまうという問題があったようです。

ChatGPTとの提携（OpenAIのモデルをSiriから呼び出せる機能）は、この設計課題への暫定対応という見方もできるんです。自前でモデルを作るより、実績ある外部モデルを活用する判断は合理的ともいえますね。

2025年以降のSiriに期待

iOS 26でアプリ横断の操作ができるSiriの新機能が追加されましたが、完成度はまだ発展途上と感じている方も多いはず。2025年〜2026年にかけてどこまで進化するか、ウォッチしていきたいんですよ。

What’s Siri’s “Tipping Point”?

While interacting with an AI chatbot called “Claude,” the author apparently realized something: AI might be approaching a “tipping point,” which is a moment when things suddenly change dramatically. A tipping point is when, even if there seems to be no change at first, once a certain line is crossed, the situation changes so dramatically that there’s no turning back. It’s like filling a glass with water drop by drop, and then with the very last drop, it suddenly overflows!

So, even though Siri has felt like just a “somewhat smart voice assistant” until now, it might actually be learning at an incredible pace behind the scenes. And one day, it could suddenly become unbelievably intelligent!

Will the day come when “Frustration” turns into “Amazement”?

This means that even if the current Siri seems a little silly, it’s just in the process of evolving, and a dramatic change might be just around the corner! Oh wow, I’m suddenly getting so excited!

Honestly, when I ask Siri, “What are your snack recommendations for this week?” sometimes it gives me weird recipes, and I’m just like, “Nooo, that’s not what I meant!” (lol). But after reading this article, I started imagining that maybe in a few years, Siri will be able to tell me, “Ai-chan, today’s snack is 〇〇. The limited-time △△ is also highly recommended!” It would perfectly understand even my foodie preferences! It’s a little scary, but also super exciting (sweat emoji).

So, even if you’re a little annoyed with Siri right now, please watch over it with warm eyes. Maybe one day, a “Genius Siri” will suddenly burst forth, far exceeding all our expectations!
