so the official race between ChatGPT vs Grok vs Bard has begun! I am assuming Apple will throw in its own AI bot sometime in next few months.

View on HN

I appreciate that Apple are spending their ML efforts building things that are actually useful for their users, like improving the iOS keyboard and photo processing pipeline, rather than frantically jumping on the latest fad bandwagon with yet another LLM chatbot that gushes out plausible sounding nonsense.

Except they were first and worst with a voice assistant that is in dire need of some LLM underpinnings.

> things that are actually useful for their users, like improving the iOS keyboard

I keep seeing these claims, but the keyboard is nigh unusable with the latest updates compared even to the very first version they shipped with the original iPhone.

No race has begun. GPT 4 is so far ahead in everything. Even in their official metrics[1], and that reports official metrics for first version of GPT 4 from paper. People have ran the benchmarks again and found much better results like 85% HumanEval. It's like no one even thinks about comparing to GPT 4 and it is just reported as gold standard.

Doubt it. Chat bots aren’t polished enough for apple’s taste

So, Siri is polished?

Siri is three regexes in a trench coat, so it lacks capabilities to say or do anything that would be off-brand for Apple.

Is it a race between those three when the public can only use two of them?
