And yet Siri is dumber than a bag of hammers…
And I say that as someone who has been using Macs since the 512k in high school.
I use Siri every day for something or another but almost invariably she gets it wrong. Play a song. Dislike a song. Ask a question. Make a call. Adjust a smart device setting. And sometimes it’s one minor word that makes all the difference.
It’s a shame because I really do prefer voice interaction. When it works, it’s magic.
Siri can't even tell the difference between a 50 minute timer and a 15 minute timer.
I know this pain. This is why I have so many 49 minute timers
Siri set timer for 3000 seconds
00000 minutes, starting now.
The only useful thing I’ve found with Siri is that my kids can be entertained by her for a few minutes asking her to tell them knock-knock jokes.
It really is amazing how bad it is.
