Damn, just when I was getting excited for iOS 17 I get hot water dumped on me of how superior iOS 18 will be… LOL
Got a tip for us?

iOS 18 Rumored to Feature Major Siri Improvements

Yes. That is in the iOS 17 betas and reports so far have been favorable.
I'll settle for one feature: do not autoplay music when connecting to my car's BT.
I have found that Siri does much better on playing music if you use the pattern “play song name by artist name”. When I try to start with the artist’s name, Siri has a hard time understanding what part is the song and what part is the artist. “Play artist’s song name” never works well.
Imagine these are the kind of questions people asked Siri:
No wonder she quits.
No wonder she quits.
IOS 17 will launch next week. IOS 18 will be announced and major features shows at WWDC in June 2024. That’s only 10 months away.

Well of course I know Instagram is FaceBook, but does Apple allow the end user to control privacy or is it implied you give up all privacy per apps that Apple approves on their App Store? I don’t blame Instagram. I know they’re data collecting, which is why I don’t allow App Tracking, microphone access, camera and photo access. How is it possible for Instagram to present an advertisement about a product I was talking about with my wife or friends when my phone was locked and screen off? I blame Apple for apparently allowing apps to override (presumably?) Apple’s app settings that the end user supposedly controls from the Settings app.
apple doesnt do anything substantial with their OS updates except once per year. if it does not come with some AI update reveal next week to join iOS 17 at some point, it's not happening. apple's not a major innovator with software.
Hey Siri, will you be better in twenty years? .... Sorry, I'm having trouble with that. Try restarting your WiFi router.
Siri, why is your weather report wrong today "SIRI" "I can't tell the difference between weather and your shopping list"
can’t wait to ask it to set a five minute timer and have it send a gif of me questioning why i ever try to do anything with siri to someone
I am far more bewildered at the icons fixed size and spacing. I would like the option to shrink them both, to allow more per screen.
So people who have genuine complaints about a piece of software that has been terrible for years with little to no improvements are just "trying to get forum cred"?
Just stop with the insults and and hominems.
Google and Alexa aren't currently using LLMs. Maybe they're a little better than Siri, but it's nothing particularly impressive.
If Siri becomes something like an on-device chatbot that can perform complicated tasks, that would be a huge leap ahead of the competition as it stands today. But it's tricky because you can't just run an LLM on a phone, it requires way too much RAM.

Wow, so she might understand incredibly complex queries like "What's the weather for this weekend?" Because she couldn't do that for me today.
I only use Siri on appletv and even then it’s useless
End up typing things in as it’s cringe level incompetent

Hopefully by that time they can at least figure out how to make Siri rap better.
