    As an AirPod user the most annoying one to me is “turn conversation awareness on/off” and she does some shit with HomeKit? lol

    That doesn’t make her awful. Sorry she doesn’t speak the exact same way as you. It’s more human than ChatGPT ever could be. Just always magically knowing the answer like some sort of omnipotent being.

      What kind of virtual assistant can’t tell you what time it is in a set time zone, why do I have to say a specific city in said time zone, how come every time I ask it something, I don’t get a answer, just her reading our “here’s what I found on the web”, and clearly I’m not the only one

    I’m not impressed with Siri either, but you have asked a question even a human couldn’t answer.

    Eastern Standard or Eastern Daylight, and do you mean in the USA or in Australia? There’s four options there alone based on your query. Siri sucks, but help the girl out a little

      Plus if I ask google, what time is it eastern time, or if I ask Alexa, it answers because it uses common sense, I live in America, I probably want to know EST American time

      And on top of that, eastern time is a time zone, and it’s what I was looking for (ET), and it can’t even answer that

    Turn Siri off. Give Apple some worrisome data. Why would I use something thats trash and doesn’t work, embarrassing for a company as successful as Apple

    I honestly heavily doubt Apple are still working on Siri at all. They’ve just accepted it will be garbage, at least for now

    Apple lags way behind when it comes to AI stuff in general. Just look at the autocorrect and predictive typing on the keyboard. My native language is not English, and we tend to use both English and my native language when texting or talking in general. The autocorrect used to drive me nuts!

    It’s crazy how Siri went from the best to not even worth using outside of asking for the time or to call someone. The answer for like 90% of what I ask is “here’s what I found on the web” I COULD HAVE DONE THAT MYSELF.

    They’ll probably upgrade siri with more modern AI next year. They must do it if they don’t want to stay behind the competition.

    Apple is planning to integrate more AI technology into ios 18 I believe. I’m hoping they update Siri then.

    The only thing I ever use Siri for is “set a timer for xx minutes” or “set an alarm for (time).” Siri is pretty good for that. Everything else is a crapshoot.

    Since I added 2 Google speakers at home, Siri only does timers on my watch. Rest of smart home commands go to Google.
