alt Hacker News> ideal implementation of AI for Apple is probably to finally make Siri work
Wouldn't the simplest solution be to auction off Siri's back end the way Apple does Safari's search bar in iOS?

No, because what Siri does needs to be tightly integrated in ways that search does not.
They're reportedly already doing that, AI services will be able to publish "Extensions" that Siri will use and then those services can compete amongst themselves to power it.
But this is contingent on the same services not being able to replace Siri and being able to reserve its APIs for Apple's exclusive use, and they have a pretty tenuous grasp on that these days.
