I wouldn't be surprised if this was done by one of those AI companies themselves!
Remember FaceBook x Onavo?

fMRI is a cool, expensive tech, like so many others in genetics and other diagnostics. These technologies create good jobs ("doing well by doing good").
But as other comments point out, and practitioners know, their usefulness for patients is more dubious.
Per the article, it did succeed. AI radiology tools are being widely adopted, and they work very well.
But they are being used by radiologists, not instead of radiologists. And because scans can be interpreted more quickly and cheaply, more scans are ordered, which has increased the demand for radiologists overall.
My Siri-initiated timers are always done with my phone, probably 50 or more each week (work stuff). The only time I get a failure is when I release the side button too quickly. I've made certain the spoken feedback is enabled to reduce the risk of me making that mistake. (Settings > Siri > Siri Responses > Prefer Spoken Responses)
As for, "What time is it?"... Try activating Siri and only saying, "Time."
I suspect that's the main difference; if you're trying to use hands-free voice activation via "hey Siri" you get a much different experience than if you can touch the watch/phone to trigger Siri first.
And thinking back over it, more than half the failures are complete - e.g., it likely never activated at all. Very few are "it set a timer, but for the wrong time".
Good chance that's what captures our different Siri experiences. The few times I've done it spoken was always with AirPods and I always waited for the Siri reply (been a while; is it, "Uh-huh"?) after I said, "Hey, Siri." But my experience activating Siri with speech is so minimal as to be untrustworthy of anything broader.
I don't think that much will change regarding to Replicate's API because of Cloudflare. It's specifically mentioned in Replicate's blog post and it's also not in their best interest.
What's important to know ( I think). Recently, Cloudflare released a blog post of Omni for AI inference. I think they performance tuned it better than other providers. So their costs per inference drops down a lot ( https://blog.cloudflare.com/how-cloudflare-runs-more-ai-mode... ). Since the performance is OK, they now want to expand usage and their model catalog.
Replicate is a perfect fit. Model catalog, infrastructure for larger models, more specialised tools for fine-tuning, ...
Eg. For inference, Replicate is basically just a Worker AI endpoint and easy to maintain. Fine-tuning could probably be something similar.
But then again, that's my 2 cents. It was already mentioned that Replicate will stay as a distinct brand.
