@daringfireball the only problem is that all this is on android, unless Google can fold into iOS I’ll pass.

@Strwpok @daringfireball

Google cannot "fold it into" iOS for an extremely obvious reason.

@dmitriid @daringfireball which is my point, it’s not for me because it’s hooked into Android OS which is a poor imitation of iOS.

@Strwpok @daringfireball

Nope, that's not the obvious reason why it can't be folded into iOS.

So we end up stuck with a shitty Siri that can barely set timers (and often fails to do even that).

@dmitriid @daringfireball surely it’s the same reason Siri can’t be folded into Android? I have no complaints about either. I use Siri multiple times everyday and I’m looking forward to its new features coming later this year

@Strwpok @daringfireball

It is, so you see the obvious issue.

And yet somehow you still arrive at the original "if Google can't fold it into iOS, I'll pass". How exactly do you know magine Google doing that?

And yeah, good luck having those imaginary features any time this year (just as any other imaginary features Apple promoted for Siri in the last 13 years)

@dmitriid @daringfireball I probably wasn’t clear, I don’t actually care that it can’t be folded into iOS. My point was that it could be as “ground breaking” as Google promote, it won’t matter a jot to me. My Siri and my iOS has had multiple updates since I went iPhone in 2008. So I’m not worried.

@Strwpok @daringfireball

Ah okay, now I see.

I disagree with "Siri has had multiple updates". It's just as barely useful (often less) than what was demoed in 2011: https://youtu.be/SpGJNPShzRc?si=L_sArvO_tekCNqp

None of the "intelligent personal assistant" stuff ever materialized, its quality was up and down often several times in the intervening years.

Just last year: https://x.com/dmitriid/status/1867841895206203766, https://x.com/dmitriid/status/1781030511336456612 (these I bothered to rant about)

*Edited wording*

@dmitriid @daringfireball “I disagree Siri has had multiple updates”, I mean you can disagree with facts, but it doesn’t really work in your favour
I’d say about 80 percent of what Apple promised for Siri is there in 18.31 and there’s more coming in other updates. I don’t see what the issue is?
I’ve worked in IT for over 30 years and see updates come out quickly and slowly. Why are you so riled up about it

@Strwpok @daringfireball

I see the *fact* that Siri's functionality barely progressed since 2011.

I see the *fact* that it's regularly broken for the simplest tasks. To the point that it simply stops doing actions it has been doing for months prior to breakage.

I see the *fact* that most people barely use it beyond a glorified timer because even adding reminders or writing notes with it can charitably be called non-deterministic
