Dude, it really is the fucking worst. I asked siri this morning “how long will it take for me to drive to my next appointment.” She pulls up my calendar appointment. So I then ask “how long will it take for me to get there?” It then does a fucking web search “how long will it take for me to get there?” So. Fucking. Dumb. The more I use ChatGPT, the worse Siri seems.
EDIT: I should note that the address was in the calendar appointment.
Same sentiments here. Siri’s feeling like a grandma “AI” at this point. Half the responses I’m wishing it was gpt. Basic stuff, either “unlock the phone” or “I can’t do that on iPhone”.
Feels like she’s been abandoned by devs.
If Siri had gpt levels of iOS integration, it would be indispensable.
Worst part is some requests will work one day, then not work the next, then work again.
Especially with requests about HomeKit or commands that have similar wording to HomeKit scenes. Drives me nuts.
Exactly. Not stable on my iPhone either. Can’t understand why. Feels like funny algorithm running here.
what the actual living fuck is this now?
New Reddit and the app just says “Check out their reaction” and requires me to view the thread to see what they said.
I actually did a test the other day between Siri and Google Assistant. Now preface this i utilize only Google Calendar. I have that connected so it imports into Apple Calendar.
I ask Siri when my next Ortho appt is. She tells me right away.
I ask Google Assistant when my Ortho appt is. It's like "I don't know what the fuck you are talking about".
I do the same but as when my next appt at the specfic office as i plug that in each time on my appts into Google Calendar. Again only Siri got it right.
Moral of the story, Siri might be dumb at some things but smart in others. And Google Assistant isn't the smartest thing either.
As someone who used to be on Android, the different between Siri and Google Assistant is night and day, and it was extremely noticable even before the advent of LLMs. It just seems like Apple does not care about Siri.
Siri has almost gotten me into car wrecks with how bad it is. I typically only use it while driving, and she can't even read me a basic answer to a question, instead saying "Here's some results from the web. Is this okay?"
Like no, I'm driving. Read the f'in results
It's not even *consistent* in what it's dumb about. Sometimes, something works that makes you go "Wait - that was actually quite good ..." so then you try it again and she's back to asking Wolfram Alpha how to send a text to my mom.
Y'all still using iProducts?
We're on that Google now.
This was me the other day. I asked Siri to “text my wife how far I’m from home” she first needed me to unlock my phone and second she gave me results from the web.
I then asked her how far I’m from home and she said 5 minutes. Can two and two not be put together.
