The futuristic vision of IoT working completely smoothly is still a dream.
For now, it works but only in isolated cases. As the system's AI continues to learn, the solutions will be exponentially better.
It's cool that Apple's systems will supposedly learn on their own, beyond sending information back to Apple. Compared to Amazon and Google's model which relies on learning through data collection and then pushing updates.
That story in GizModo is cool...kinda what I expected. IoT has a long way to go.
