He's a dev, so I'm sure he's done whatever is needed to get it ASAP for testing purposes

Who formulates a request like this? Set a timer for 20 seconds and it will set a timer for 20 seconds.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you "Siri"
I think Siri is nothing to be proud about, but this request is just weird.
It's weird? Are the words 'third' and 'three' confusing for you?
No hearing aid for the UK 😢
Apple recently confirmed that iOS 18.1 will be widely released to the public this week.

Ahead of iOS 18.1 being released, Apple is already advertising Apple Intelligence as being "here" in a Reddit ad, hinting at the update's imminent availability.
Here are some of the key Apple Intelligence features coming with iOS 18.1:
See our full list of Apple Intelligence features included in iOS 18.1 for even more.
- A few Siri enhancements, including a new appearance with a glowing light that wraps around the edge of the screen, and improved understanding for both follow-up requests and when you stumble over your words
- Writing tools for rewriting, summarizing, and proofreading text
- Notification summaries
- Suggested replies in the Messages and Mail apps
- A new "Clean Up" tool in the Photos app that can remove unwanted people or objects from photos and use generative AI to fill in the background
- The ability to create a "Memories" movie in the Photos app by typing a description
- Transcription summaries for phone call recordings
- A new Focus mode called Reduce Interruptions that surfaces important notifications only
Apple Intelligence will gain more features and support for additional languages on a gradual basis between iOS 18.2 and iOS 18.4. iOS 18.2 is already in beta, and it adds Apple Intelligence features such as Genmoji, Image Playground, Image Wand, and ChatGPT integration for Siri, as well as Visual Intelligence exclusively on all iPhone 16 models. iOS 18.2 is expected to be widely released to the public in December.
iOS 18.1 supports the same iPhone models as iOS 17 does, but Apple Intelligence requires an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16 model. On iOS 18.1, Apple Intelligence is available in U.S. English only, with more localized English languages for the U.K., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa coming with iOS 18.2. Additional languages like German, Italian, and Korean will follow next year.

He had other examples of really bad Siri responses
In any case, weird or not, a computer assistant should know what a minute is and what a third of that is
You know what? I didn’t even think about the performance hit, I just keep thinking that AI is going to make people lose the ability to think for themselves and put too much trust where it shouldn’t be placed. Now that you mention the performance hit, now I have another reason to hate AI 😀Agree with you 100%
If for no other reason than the performance hit on devices like M1's
I really hope it's fully (and truly) optional
Late to the party hopefully means done properly.
I reserve judgement however.
I’m about to but hesitating.Um... anyone else downloading it right now? https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024/10/apple-intelligence-is-available-today-on-iphone-ipad-and-mac/
I updated to 18.1 but left AI turned off. Seems to be working fine.
To be fair, it cant do a third of an hour either.It's a constructed example. No one will type in a reminder for 20 seconds since the a large percentage of the time will have elapsed until you're done typing.
For those who are smart enough, how about just set a countdown to 20 seconds?
