    Or maybe stop throwing “AI” into everything. Ffs. Nobody asked for this shit. Nobody wants this.

        Okay, “Who let the Dogs Out” by Baha Men is now playing on Apple Music. Location of Stacy from Work now shared with Wife (bedroom).

        And the fucking thing won’t answer any questions while driving. Like what the fuck is the point. If I have to unlock and stare at my phone, why do I need Siri. i can do it myself.

        That would be great to be honest. I have many shopping lists in reminders named as the stores which I frequent, with one catch all called “shopping” they are in a group called “shopping” because of course they are. Until recently adding reminders worked like “Siri add xyz to my shopping list”. But now Siri pops up saying “do you mean shopping, or shopping?” And clicking either option results in an error that the app needs to be opened. How fucking stupid can it be? One isn’t even a list! Works fine from my Apple Watch though. Changed the category to “to buy” because fuck me, right?

        Yep, and they’ve got some parts that are pretty good from earlier. Things like being able to copy text out of a picture, or enter text from a picture anywhere. Flagging your vehicles location when the Bluetooth disconnects, noticing where “work” and “home” are and your usual schedule to offer navigation at the right time. I was looking forward to Apple Intelligence building on those kinds of things and making them more reliable. Some days though it seems like the stuff that used to work has become less reliable, and the new stuff isn’t mature enough to be really useful.

      @oakey66 @cantankerous_cashew even worse: give me two hours and I will give you 80 really handy IF THEN rules that Apple at this moment does not use. For starters: IF music is playing while AppleWatch is in workout mode, THEN skip that song in all-time favourites/ recommendations.

      I’m still on 17.7.1, but I suppose I still get the same Siri experience as everyone on AI riddled 18, and yeah there’s been a massive decline in Siri lately. For years I’ve been using dictation from the Lock Screen to send text messages by saying, “Tell [Person] message.” and ever since they started dabbling in AI, it hasn’t been working correctly, especially if the message I’m dictating is longer than a sentence or two.

      I disagree. I’m just an engineer, but I’ve worked for executive leadership across the spectrum from great to awful, and a great executive leader can make or break something by aligning everybody and cutting out bullshit and distractions.

      That being said, they also have to have great people working for them, so they are far from the whole picture. But some positive changes just can’t be made from the bottom up.

    Not to get too tedious about this, but if AI actually worked, wouldn’t Apple have used it to deploy AI to its devices?

    “AI, deploy yourself to the iPhone.” would be all that is needed to get it working.

    If Apple can’t use AI to get AI working tells me that AI doesn’t work.

    “Eating one’s own dogfood” and all that.
