LLM is obviously useful for something like Siri, Alexa or Google Assistant, or so you would think.
There doesn't seem to be a rush because it makes the implementation a lot more expensive, and those things are, I suspect, not profitable products (revenue sources) to their respective companies. They are a kind of enhancement to a layer of products and services; people take them for granted now and so you can't take them away.
A smarter Google Assistant would do nothing for Google's bottom line, and in fact it would cost more money to operate.
If it's not done right, it could ruin the experience. For instance, it cannot have worse latency on common queries than the old assistant.
