>>>But I suspect that people don’t ask those questions because, after trying a time or two and getting no answers or wrong answers, they just give up on Siri. <<< Absolutely this. I mean, you try a few of this these "long tail" queries and you eventually say "Fuck it!" I attempt these "long tail" queries (which to me, that term sounds like some shitty play-it-down excuse from Apple) weekly just to see if Apple is finally getting their act together in regards to Siri usefulness. I am consistently disappointed and never surprised and delighted. I try to screenshot "Siri fails". Here are the last few in my screenshot album: ------------------- "Open last screenshot" → "You don't seem to have an app named 'last screenshot' We could see if the App Store has it [App Store]" "Share this with my wife" (Photo was open in Photos.app) → "I'm sorry Joe, I'm afraid I can't do that" "When is the last time I exercised" → "Interesting Question, Joe" "What year was this song recorded" (In Music app with song playing) → "Interesting question, Joe" ------------------- We're living in a world where we can do more and more without using the screen as an interface. It's happening. I'm worried that Siri is a low priority product for Apple right now and they will soon be scrambling to play catch up if they aren't already. EDIT: I'm hoping that Apple's recent buddying up with IBM allows for some of Watson's intellect to seep into Siri. Who knows, maybe in a future keynote we'll hear Tim say, "Ladies and gentlemen, Watson is coming to your Mac and iPhone!"
