I do wonder why Cortana, Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant are lagging so behind these LLMs. I personally don't use them with any frequency other than setting timers, but it's annoying to even consider using them and then realizing they are not as nearly as usable or helpful as ChatGPT.
For "impressive" general reasoning and conversation these LLM currently require pretty beefy hardware. You're either lugging a GPU around or calling to an API.
Aren't these current personal assistants already relying on API calls for their responses?
Like siri? Yes, my point pertained to hardware needed for LLM specifically though
