Apple Working on Natural Language Updates for Siri, Planning Redesign for macOS Ventura TV App

I wonder if Apple is tracking how many, "Siri you suck" comments / queries it gets everyday? lol 
To be honest Siri works just fine most of the time for my use. But on a HomePod not too long ago I asked Siri to set a timer. The responses were “working on it” followed by “sorry I can’t connect to the internet right now” or something like that.
Very good observation. I suspect this has more to do with HomePods than it does the Apple TV. HomePod is a Siri device, full stop. If Siri continues to be as bad (and worsening!!) as it is, then the whole deck of cards that Apple is building their smart home play on, falls with it.
The amount of times I ask Siri on my watch to set a timer and I’m told there is no timer app installed is a joke.
The only change I desperately want for Siri is actual voice recognition so it stops responding to Youtube videos that mention Siri. I want it to ignore anything and everything that isn't MY voice. Is that really so difficult Apple?
Other than that, Siri works fine to control my home.

I'm looking forward to Siri gaslighting and arguing with me like Bing's ChatGPT 4. Maybe she'll also take my web developer/designer job too! I can see where things are headed.
At what point do enough people lose their job to AI that the companies replacing their employees with AI no longer have enough customers to purchase goods and services because their customers lost their jobs to AI? Do we institute UBI or do we let society collapse as everyone dies off and only the rich survive supported by robotic AI slaves?

Playlists - can't innovate anymore my ass! Does it concern anyone else that Apple take so long to add such a basic feature? Such a huge lack of common sense in the company.
And AI used for timers? Really!? Just throw Siri in the trash and adopt an LLM. It's already MUCH better.

These rumor websites should just all join forces as one superband. Y'all eat up each others' content. The Apple Ouroboros.
Don't know how much Apple can improve Siri in a short time. Siri requires a lot of work.
Of all the things Apple avoids doing, this might be at the top of my personal list.
Would a speaker for pinging the remote add so much bulk or be such a drain on the battery? I highly doubt it.
Siri cannot even reliably turn off my lights at night, on HomeKit, much less tell me when a store closes.
“Would you like to know about this one?”
“You will need to unlock your phone and search the web to learn about that topic”
All I need is a Siri that has actually been upgraded or ChatGPT will do…

Siri Ai.......... Write me a summary of the largest contribution Tim Cook has made to the world of tech.

meanwhile MS adds ChatGPT 4 to all applications, so you can tell e.g. Word, Excel or Powerpoint what kind of document you need and it is generated by GPT.
So all Apple users (like me) will look to MS users who simply say „Hey Powerpoint, create me a presentation about robots“ and „Hey Powerpoint, can you make the background more vibrant and add some more information about Boston Dynamics?“
Meanwhile Apple is fiddling around with splitting the iPhone up into even more different models or with deep sea divers like VR goggles ….
And Apple misses the future - agsin

Hope in the next Version of the TV app there are bigger improvements than the last years. WWDC is coming. So tvOS need it I believe. More than 2 Picture in Pictur. 2 or more side by side. LiveTV and not, when a game like MLS MLB is on air. Or am I the only person in the world who also watch livetv? And what I really miss, why do I need an app, like Disney+, to watch a movie? Why can’t every service support the directly start, like it is with the Apple Channels? I love them! The integration is better than to start an app where I start the show like Disney+, Prime, Netflix etc.
I ❤️ that sidebars are seen as the solution to navigation issues. Y’know, like they were in Apple’s (and many third-party) apps during the early days of Mac OS X through to at least the late 2000s. Damage done by iOS and dealing with smaller displays that made its way to the Mac?
You missed that Apple is fiddling around with colours and that's highly innovative stuff.
While you are waiting on Siri to catch up, you can use shortcuts to Call ChatGPT to avoid the dreaded "I can show you answers on your iPhone" response. You can check it out here:
