the world's knowledge suggests Siri is not very good.
Siri suggests that the world’s knowledge is not very good. But it is rather funny.
The first step to world domination is world knowledge 🙃
The first step is to remove any and all ability of the citizenry to defend itself against a tyrannical government. From there, that government has zero checks against its power, and it can become that tyrannical government by doing anything and everything to its people, even to the point of taking property and even family members for the government’s own use.
History confirms it because it has happened that way in 100% if the world’s totalitarian government takeovers.
Does Apple still have any AI employees to work on any AI projects?
That depends on whether AI stands for “Artificial Intelligence” or “Artificially Intelligent”.
I'm voting that they do away with the moniker Siri and change it to something less trouble ridden like Facebook did when they changed to Meta, hoping the world would forget their atrocities.
I'll put forward that we call her Shirley. Shirley will have a raspy, mature ladies voice, as though she's a chain smoker and worked in a Vegas casino all her life. A mature, yet raspy, voice, may signify a lifetime of information gathering through world travels, to go with her profound new wisdom.
The raspiness also adds the cool ability to break into a cover of Kim Carnes' Bette Davis Eyes anytime she stuffs up in order to distract me, and find forgiveness. 😁
Lol @ the Shirley proposal.
But seriously, I’d rather have us be able to rename the assistant on our own devices. I’ve heard Leo Laporte (was a Radio computer tech guy now turned podcaster), when using Android, renames his to “Help me Obi Wan Kenobi!”, which I think is genius!
People becoming too dependent on AI assistants these days. Whether it's Alexa, Siri, Avi, Gemini, etc. the real name is satan.
One could interpret the personal assistant as a false idol, for sure. As a believer myself, I try very hard not to be too personally involved with either Siri or Alexa.
I’ll always stick with Apple products. But I asked Siri to define a word that was a little edgy. Siri said she couldn’t. So, Siri is deciding for us which words are worth defining?
So I’m very curious, and I’m serious about this…what was the word? Can you spell it hangman style or maybe in L33T if it’s NSFW? I’d very much like to try it here on Siri and Alexa.
Actually what will actually define his Apple legacy is taking Apple to a nearly $4 trillion dollar company
Thank you for reminding us of this!
But sadly, not by providing a better product, but by finding more ways to get money out of users. They call it "value creation", sane people call it rent-seeking.
I call BS on your claim that Apple hasn’t provided any better products. If that were even a little bit true, I would not have owned 4 iPads, 5 iPhones, 3 Apple Watches, and an M1 MacBook Pro over the years.
Sure, there are little things to dislike about this or that, and usually Siri is at the top of the list. Or in my case, a set of AirPod Pros that just didn’t fit and were unusable to me. But Apple processed my return and sent me my refund without delay. And really, I can USUALLY get Siri to properly respond to things like requests for directions or to call somebody or send a text in the car, all hands-free (since it’s the law where I live). It’s not perfect, but it’s functional. And I do look forward to improvements, whether they were supposed to arrive in 2025 or not until 2026. Let’s take the time and get it RIGHT.
If you believe Apple is just rent seeking, then maybe you should feel obligated to leave the ecosystem and find something else. The fact is, you have not been forced by Apple to remain an Apple customer. Maybe your family or employment situation keeps you on Apple products. But that’s not Apple’s fault. And you can break it off anytime you want to. If you’re paying anybody’s rent, that’s on you, friend.
I wish you luck.
