Dag, I fully agree. I could not think of a person in a better position to comment on this subject. Thank you.

We’re in the first inning. BE’s observations ring true on where we’re at, but as 3rd-parties join this game in a meaningful way just like the “App Store effect” on mobile this game changes in a big, big way.

The whole point of my argument is that third party development does not fix the problem in any way

When the ecosystem doesn’t require you to change the way you ask for something, then it’s game on. Your point is well taken on today’s ecosystems. Until it’s natural, not unnatural language things change. Preferred developers make money. The new SEO.

I think invocation words are a secondary issue - the primary issue is remembering the skill itself is there, regardless of whether you need a specific wording to get to it. Similar to a smart watch - how many new habits can you form?

The winner will be whomever removes the need for intents. You won’t need to “remember” what it can do. If I say “Siri order me a pizza hut pizza” She should know how to get me there: auto-download pizza hut app, configure an account using icloud ID, use Apple Pay, etc.

Nah, I’d call it pipelined, or Workflow (as in the app) AI, to be honest why can’t iOS 11 just do this now? It knows my address (current loc), my payment methods, I’m asking for Pizza Hut pizza, it knows there is an app, etc. Doesn’t sound like Hal 9000 level needs to me

Mathew, Indeed. This was one of the original premises for Apple to acquire Workflow and also VocalIQ. There is no need for ‘General AI” for your example and in many ways was already done by pre Apple Siri.
