Yeah, I just completely disagree. I agree that Maps' machine learning isn't very good but I've been completely unimpressed with Google's as well.

>IMO the company is stuck in the past, its software pipeline is so badly broken the quality of the basic OS products is visibly declining, and it's unprepared for the next generation of integrated and invisible AI applications.

This has been a meme for a few years now and I don't know what the basic quality that's declining is. Their development has arguably accelerated and it doesn't seem like it has any more bugs than normal. I agree that Siri has not been advanced as much as it should have been but it seems like they're working on it.

>But because it's an ad company with a bit of a research culture it can't imagine an integrated customer-centric general AI platform - which is where the next big disruption will come from.

I'm not sure what you mean by "general AI" but I think Apple has the best shot at it of any company working right now (unless you mean AGI).
