That’s the use case? If that’s the case Samsung isn’t doing it right either because that’s not what I’m looking in an AI.

Apple Intelligence Siri Overhaul Could Get Delayed

Starting yesterday whenever I ask Siri the temperature outside, she tells me she doesn’t know where I am or she gives me the definition of temperature, or asks if I want to get ChatGPT to help me. This is a recent and I hope that means they are working hard to fix her. It has taken so long and has been such bad PR that I think they should pay the developers whatever they ask to get it done by 18.4 as they announced. Hire more developers and pay them well. Such a bad look all these years for the predominant feature on all Apple device devices..
For even more context, that is completely dwarfed by how many atoms there are in an apple.
I'm just saying with so much money apple can't get software done right or on time.
He's no the brightest then, course it probably is - new phone vs old phone is faster, if it was apples to apples then the 16 pro max is faster, only thing that's faster on anything vs iPhone is depreciation!🤣My boss upgraded from his iPhone 14 Pro Max and Apple Watch to a new Samsung phone and watch he says it’s faster.
How does WWDC not make sense to you? The presentation is “here’s what coming in iOSx” and then all those features are released in iOSx. It’s not a “here’s what’s coming in iOSx.0 on day one” presentation.

Tim Cook and his team really messed up big time by failing to see the AI juggernaut coming down the track. That’s what you get when a risk averse bean counter runs a tech company instead of a visionary.
This. If Apple had kept a focus on Siri all these years, we wouldn’t be so dismayed and impatient now. Or if they had even kept features that it had before that it took away, we would not be so disillusioned. I remember when.Siri could search your photos according to your request for a date or a person. That feature was taken away. I remember when she could read your mail to you and that was taken away. At this point, I’m thinking that Craig and John G. should be put in charge of something else because their software management has been woeful. Perhaps let them cut the grass? And put that woman in charge that gets things done.We've been waiting for like 15 years
Apple Intelligence is a joke. Everything it touches turns into 💩
Its summaries change the meaning of everything. Even something basic like typing on the keyboard in landscape becomes unusable, because if you dont press the space bar exactly in the right place, the AI overlay comes up.
Siri is terrible, but adding AI to it will make sure it becomes worse.
I have been running the developer betas since july. I have filed hundreds of bug reports about AI. i dont think anyone looks into it.
Out of everything I have witnessed since the original iPhone, this is the biggest mistep, by an order of magnitude, in my opinion.

Empty promises, even when apple fully releases apple AI, it's still going to take time for devs to incorporate those features in their apps unless apple is also going to release apps that use those AI features.
I’m not sure who the “we” are, but they will get there. I’m fine with getting it right than getting it first.
Maybe they need to take a step back and decide what is Siri supposed to do and focus the efforts there.
Too many people evaluate voice assistants at how well it is being a trivia box, and it's not worth the effort at perfecting that use case (not that it's good at that right now either).

Apple needs to outsource Siri! They are completely incompetent on making it better.
Yes. For answering questions I can and do use the voice chat GPT with a handy button on my lock screen. What Siri can bring to the table is doing more with various apps and settings ON your phone. I will be happy too when Siri can do well at answering general world questions. Currently it way to often just offers to list some web sites that might help. When I use a voice assistant for questions it's usually because I'm engaged in something where looking at web pages isn't convenient
Remember when apple used to underpromise and over-deliver? Those were the days. This **** now of announcing stuff but then being like "maybe it will come with this OS we don't even know" is such a lame move. Either have it ready when you announce or don't announce it at all. Then again they would have pretty much nothing to announce at WWDC since they keep 80+% of the new features behind "coming later."
