An open-ended Smart Siri chatbot could expose Apple to lawsuits, political backlash, and brand damage. Here’s why Apple may be smarter not to compete in generative AI.

Apple’s Smart Siri may be delayed again due to reliability concerns. Is this an engineering failure, a management misstep, or a deeper limitation of AI assistants with real system authority?
