🍎 Apple Rushes to Rebuild Siri with ChatGPT-Style AI

Siri has been falling behind. But Apple isn’t giving up.

Inside Cupertino, engineers are secretly testing an internal chatbot called “Veritas.” Think of it as Apple’s in-house ChatGPT, built to train and stress-test Siri’s long-delayed AI overhaul.

🔍 What’s Veritas?

• A ChatGPT-style app, used only inside Apple

• Tests features like:
  👉 Searching your personal data
  👉 Editing photos with voice commands

⚙️ The Tech Behind It

• Runs on the “Linwood” system

• Mixes Apple’s in-house AI with third-party models

⏳ The Big Delay

• Siri’s AI overhaul was set for launch earlier…

• Now pushed back to March 2026

• Fallout: 🚪 talent leaving, exec reshuffles

❌ Not for You

• Unlike ChatGPT or Gemini, Apple won’t release Veritas as a public app

• Instead, features get baked directly into Siri

💡 Why It Matters

Apple isn’t chasing the chatbot hype.
But with:
⚡ Fierce competition
🧑‍💻 Ongoing talent drain
⏰ The 2026 deadline looming...

👉 The pressure on Apple has never been higher.

🎬 AI Actress Tilly Norwood Faces Hollywood Backlash

Hollywood’s newest rising star isn’t human. And that’s got actors furious.

Meet Tilly Norwood — an AI-generated actress created by talent studio Xicoia. She debuted just last month in a comedy sketch, but now she’s already in talks with multiple top Hollywood talent agencies.

The problem? Actors say any agency that signs her should be boycotted.

🎥 The Big Move

• Tilly is now in talks with major talent agencies

• Xicoia founder Eline Van der Velden wants her to be “the next Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman”

• Just months ago, studios dismissed AI talent — now they’re chasing deals

🔥 The Backlash

• Human actors are calling for boycotts of any agency that signs Tilly

• Some performers say they’ll drop their reps if they move forward

• Unions & strike memories fuel the fire

🤔 Why It Matters

Between AI actress Tilly Norwood and AI musician Xania Monet, Hollywood is testing synthetic stardom.
👉 But the divide is sharp: for some, it’s innovation — for others, it’s an existential threat.

⚡ Bottom Line: The age of synthetic performers isn’t coming…
It’s already here.
