However, generative AI isn't a new concept as voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Microsoft also use AI technologies. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, in an interview with Financial Times, talked about the first voice assistants-- Cortana, Alexa and Siri-- and said that they were all 'dumb as a rock'. Satya Nadella calls Alexa, Siri, Cortana 'dumb as a rock' Apple's Siri, Google's Alexa and Microsoft's Cortana are used by people even today. But at the end of the day, they are the 800 pound gorilla on this which is what they are and I hope that with our innovation they will definitely want to come out and show that they can dance and I want people to know that we made them dance and I think that will be a great day.” He also said that even though Google dominates the market by a ‘significant margin, having other competitors will mean an evenly spread search share which will help publishers get traffic from multiple sources’.
