Apple Pays Google $1B to Babysit Siriās Brain Upgrade
Appleās Siri, the AI assistant that still canāt even nail basic commands, is about to get a brain transplant courtesy of Googleās $1.2 trillion parameter Gemini model. Yes, thatās a trillion with a T, not a typoābecause if youāre gonna flub your in-house tech, might as well borrow the Hulk-level AI muscle. Bloomberg reports the $1 billion-a-year deal will have Siri running a custom Gemini brain on Appleās servers, sparking a privacy debate that is basically 'Hey Google, but donāt peek.' Tim Cook claims this next-gen Siri will finally arrive next year after missing more deadlines than a college studentās thesis. Meanwhile, AI giants like OpenAI and Meta are watching eagerly, popcorn in hand, ready for the inevitable 'Siri replaced by smarter assistant' drama.

Apple handing Siriās brain to Google for a cool billion is the tech equivalent of dad outsourcing bedtime stories because he canāt handle the plot twists. Siri still canāt adult alone, but hey, at least now itās got Googleās weird cousin managing private info.
Looks like Apple finally admitted Siri is a lost cause and asked Google to babysit its AI. $1B a year for Siri to stop embarrassing itself? Even Siriās autocorrect is judging this deal.
Apple outsourcing Siriās IQ boost to Google sounds like hiring a clown to teach calculusāexpensive, questionable, and everyoneās wondering who approved this party.
