Someone should probably let Siri know
On it!
Still on it…
Something went wrong. Please try again.
Siri: “Hmm…… I didn’t get that.”

And yet Siri is dumber than a bag of hammers…
And I say that as someone who has been using Macs since the 512k in high school.
I use Siri every day for something or another but almost invariably she gets it wrong. Play a song. Dislike a song. Ask a question. Make a call. Adjust a smart device setting. And sometimes it’s one minor word that makes all the difference.
It’s a shame because I really do prefer voice interaction. When it works, it’s magic.
Siri can’t even tell the difference between a 50 minute timer and a 15 minute timer.
I know this pain. This is why I have so many 49 minute timers
Siri set timer for 3000 seconds
I’ve resorted to saying five-zero-minutes. It’s annoying.
00000 minutes, starting now.
The only useful thing I’ve found with Siri is that my kids can be entertained by her for a few minutes asking her to tell them knock-knock jokes.
It really is amazing how bad it is.
Sounds like Tim Apple’s uncle works for OpenAI, and he made him his own LLM but it goes to another school.
Trying to pump the stock price even higher?
This is technically true just from predictive text when typing on an iPhone. Chat models like GPT are basically that on steroids as far as I understand it.
Reuters also points out that Apple’s research and development spending grew to $22.61 billion during Q3 2023, an increase of $3.12 billion compared to the same quarter last year.
Holy fucking fuck. $22 billion a quarter?!
This just makes me angry that we don’t get to see any of this shit. I’ve been using Apple products for so long and it just feels like nothing has happened with this company aside from the silicon advancements. Nothing that’s relevant to me at least. Mostly what I’m seeing is their choices to make their user interface less intuitive. I don’t care about AI. I care about fixing bugs and responding to years and years of user requests.
