🤯 Apple’s AI Boss Is Out And Siri Still Sucks

The Bite: Apple’s longtime AI chief John Giannandrea is stepping down after seven years on “Operation: Please Make Siri Less Embarrassing.”

His exit comes right after Apple delayed its big “new Siri” yet again and quietly pulled key responsibilities away from him earlier this year.

Now Apple is parachuting in Amar Subramanya — the Google Gemini / Imagen guy with a brief Microsoft pit stop — to drag Siri into the same decade as the rest of the industry.

If you’ve been reading The Daily Bite for a while, you already know we’ve spent years clowning Siri while Google and OpenAI lapped Apple on its own home turf: your phone.

Snacks:

• The Fall Guy: Ex-Googler Giannandrea came to fix Siri, now exits as “advisor.”

• The Transfer: Apple stripped Siri from his org while quietly delaying upgrades.

• The Ringer: Subramanya, ex-Gemini/Imagen with brief Microsoft stop, now leads AI.

• The Opt-Out: Apple may lean on custom Gemini—borrowing assistant brains from Google.

• The Mood: AI teams are understaffed, tired, and watching rivals ship smarter assistants.

Why it Bites: This isn’t just an exec reshuffle; it’s Apple quietly admitting seven years of Siri strategy didn’t work while your iPhone’s built-in assistant stayed frozen in 2016.

Giannandrea will get the blame, but the real problem is a company that treated AI like a settings menu instead of the main event.

Now the Gemini/Imagen guy walks into the mess and maybe he finally fixes it… unless Apple does what Apple does and gets in its own way.

😆 Your $900/Hour Consultant Just Got a ChatGPT Login

The Bite: OpenAI and Accenture are rolling out ChatGPT Enterprise to tens of thousands of consultants, plus certifications and agents to automate real client workflows.

In plain English: the people who used to sell you “digital transformation” slides are now selling you bots that actually do the work behind those slides — at the same day rate.

Snacks:

• The Scale Play: Accenture is arming tens of thousands with ChatGPT Enterprise access.

• The Badge Farm: Those workers will rack up OpenAI Certifications as their new credentials.

• The Flagship Funnel: A joint AI program packages OpenAI tools into big-ticket client offerings.

• The Agent Army: Accenture will use AgentKit to build agents that automate core business tasks.

• The Quiet Shift: A lot of “entry-level” consulting and ops work just moved to bots.

Why it bites: This is how AI actually seeps into big companies: through consulting firms standardizing it and billing it as transformation.

For OpenAI it’s distribution.
For Accenture it’s leverage,

And for junior consultants and ops folks, it’s a warning label on the most automatable parts of their jobs.
