They indeed need to make it more conversational. I think this is a big thing Jobs would harp on if still alive. It should feel like always having a friend/assistant in the room who knows everything.
It sucks for privacy but if you trust apple enough it’d be nice to have an always-on microphone for Siri so you could be like “hey siri that tour we talked about at breakfast- can you bring up directions to that?” Stuff like that
Holy shit that sounds like an absolute nightmare.
Let’s ignore for the moment all the mega corporation and cloud data security implications of that (and there are MANY), let’s pretend it does all processing and storage locally and never needs to transmit any of those conversations offsite.
That STILL sounds like an absolute nightmare. I could spy on the people who live with me in an extraordinarily efficient way. “Hey Siri, what did my wife talk about in the phone call over breakfast?” “Hey siri, is my daughter gay?” “Hey siri, summarize all the conversations you heard at this dinner party.”
