@daringfireball the only problem is that all this is on android, unless Google can fold into iOS I’ll pass.
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.
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 @Strwpok @daringfireball in all the years of using Siri it’s never once failed to set a timer. Do you have a mouthful of marbles or something?
@delric @Strwpok @daringfireball
Lucky you. I've had it fail somewhat often especially while driving in a car, or quickly saying "thirteen" or "fifteen" which it sometimes confuses for "thirty" and "fifty".
As for "marbles in mouth", there are fewer people speaking Queen's English, and many more people speaking all sorts of accents in all sorts of situations.
@dmitriid @delric @daringfireball maybe you’re having an atypical issue, but there’s millions of people using Siri everyday (including me) to set timers, alarms and reminders. I’d be lost without it on my phone and Apple Watch.
@Strwpok @delric @daringfireball
1. I'm one of those millions of people
2. As personal anecdote: I've heard similar complaints from most people around me who trying to engage with Siri
3. Timers/alarms/reminders is a bit too little for an "intelligent personal assistant" that has been around for 13 years ;)

@Strwpok @delric @daringfireball
HEY SIRI ADD EGGS TO REMINDERS.
As for the actual useful stuff when you actually want to use it as an actual assistant? Well, I just tried it:
@Strwpok @delric @daringfireball
Did you add just eggs, or did you try and add, like I did, eggs, bread, and milk?
It has no issues adding one item at a time, I never claimed it didn't.
@Strwpok @delric @daringfireball
And as with most of these things you never know what the actual capabilities and limitations are.
A few days ago I was driving and said "Add note with text <something something>", it refused. Literally right now I tried the same incantation, and it worked.
Go figure :)
I guess most people just shrug, dismiss this, and never use it again.
@dmitriid @delric @daringfireball maybe your cellular signal was weak in the car.
@Strwpok @delric @daringfireball
It did allow me "add note <text>" then. And that's the issue again: it's impossible to know which incantation will work. Despite Siri being 13 years old, and Apple telling they have an amazing dedicated neural processor for at least 6 of those
@dmitriid @delric @daringfireball I just did what you did in your post. I can try the additional steps as well, but I would assume it would see them as a single item to add to a list.
@Strwpok @delric @daringfireball
But I only see one item added in your screenshot, not three.
I'm my case it did attempt to add two :)
@Strwpok @delric @daringfireball
And that's why I'm saying that it's still as bad and limited as it was in the original demo in 2011.
It can barely do the absolute minimum of things, unreliably, even within Apple's own ecosystem. It's even more of a hit or miss when third party apps integrate with it.
@Strwpok @delric @daringfireball
For any interaction that is anywhere "intelligent" it's just unbelievably bad
"Remind me to buy <a list of items>". You'd think they would've at least hardcoded the common interactions.
