minus-squarekratoz29@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoAlways has been. Did Siri be good at any moment though? I remember it sucked since its conception and in the most recent iOS versions too.
minus-squareArtemis@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoIt always sucked tbh, but I think what the OP meant is that when it came out, it was understandable that it was very limited and not good, yet still innovative and interesting. Apple just never really improved it beyond that.
minus-squareChozo@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoGiven what we’ve seen of the current trend of generative AI chatbots, it’ll continue to be useless.
minus-squarevenusaur@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoI don’t agree. It can be leaps and bounds better. Won’t be amazing but if it’s essentially ChatGPT with a voice, it’ll be a huge upgrade.
minus-squareTORFdot0@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoYes but now it will be useless and make stuff up instead of just saying “Something went wrong” or “I don’t understand” to every request
About time. Siri is a useless dinosaur of an assistant.
Always has been.
Did Siri be good at any moment though?
I remember it sucked since its conception and in the most recent iOS versions too.

Yeah always sucked
Given what we’ve seen of the current trend of generative AI chatbots, it’ll continue to be useless.
