There are predictions iOS 18 will bring an "AI revolution" to Siri in June, but expectations should be tempered.

Siri will likely improve in iOS 18, but may still fall short of the hype around AI and not fix longstanding issues.

There are risks with integrating generative AI into Siri - it could introduce new problems like inaccuracy.

However, generative AI is exciting and there is optimism iOS 18 could represent a fresh start for Siri after years of frustration.
