What happened to Siri??

[ric22]

I know Siri is, and always has been, an embarrassment, but seriously, what has happened this week? It's like Siri has been lobotomised! On both iPhone and HomePod.

I heard she had been having an affair with Google and got pregnant.

Works fine for me.

I basically only ever use Siri for text to speech when driving - Hey Siri, send a text to...blah blah blah. To that end it works as well as it ever has.

Anything more complicated than text to speech is an abject failure and has been since 2011.

Something wrong? I asked SIRI when Mother’s Day was and it replied “Sunday, 10 March, 2024” instead of May 12. SIRI getting Dementia? I’ve never found it to be reliable, or frankly, at all usefu.

That's the correct date in the UK. Are your regional settings correct?

Siri, and I, are somewhat estranged.

I am remiss in giving Her all the love She {obviously} deserves; but, I really only ask of Her simple things:

"Siri?"

'Mmm-hmm...'

"Turn-on Bedroom Lamp."

[{tink}]

"Siri?"

'Mmm-hmm...'

"Turn-on Livingroom Lamp."

[{tonk}]

HomePod is in the kitchen.

The bedroom is 11m away.

She always responds via the HomePod to requests when I am in the North part of the house, and via my iPhone--if I carry it there--when I am in the South.

I never ask Her to bake me some cookies; nor do I ask her her favourite recipe.

When I am @work, I sometimes envision my Mistress, sitting at the kitchen table, blindly staring at a virtual crossword puzzle, with a blank, vacant stare . . . waiting, and waiting for something to spark the light of Something Interesting.

Personally, I would have filed for Divorce years-ago; but, well, it's a marriage of semi-convenience.

Just a personal theory here, but to me siri always seems to start having issues around WWDC, and continues to get worse the closer to the new OS launch.

Not sure if apple is doing updates on their servers to get them ready for the next version or what,

I'd be really surprised they'd touch to Siri in its current form anymore.
Since it's a whole new technology (most likely using the GPT engine) coming in iOS 18, I believe they've been developing everything in parallel.
