A five-star bake. Worth schmearing, sharing, saving.
Summary
Apple, long committed to building everything in-house to maintain control over the customer experience, is now being forced to partner with rivals like Google (Gemini) and potentially OpenAI (ChatGPT) to fix its struggling Siri assistant. The article argues that Apple's self-reliance strategy has hit a wall with AI, where it lacks the data, talent, and infrastructure to compete. By integrating third-party AI models, Apple is making a pragmatic concession that signals a major shift in its philosophy, though it risks ceding some control over the user experience to competitors.
