They do have a search engine though with Siri Suggestions. Which has a user base of ~1.5b+ people.
We only see the tip of the iceberg so who knows what else it is capable of.
- lotsofpulp 4y ago“Hey siri, what is today’s date?” “Sorry, I’m having trouble connecting to the network”
- highwaylights 4y agotwo minutes later "Hey Siri, what is today's date?" "That's sweet, but I think of you as a friend" "What? The date, Siri, what is the date?" "You're so sweet" "Sigh"
- dmd 4y ago“hey siri, what’s the weather today?” “Now playing Eminem Love the way you lie featuring Rihanna”
- lotsofpulp 4y agoHey siri, turn the TV off. Which TV? Bedroom or Living Room or Everywhere? (Only 1 of the 2 TVs is ever on) I won’t spam this thread anymore, but I would be pleasantly surprised if it improved.
- illiarian 4y agoAnd AppleTV itself is hot garbage for this kind of stuff even though it's a veritable supercomputer that should be the hub for Siri and home automation. - Hey Siri, <do something that involves AppleTV in any capacity>. - I'm sorry, one of your devices is off
- scarface74 4y agoAnd that has nothing to do with an LLM. That has to do with speech to text algorithms. It also doesn’t take advanced AI to do a simple intents based answers.
- nicky0 4y agoYes we are aware that Siri doesn't use LLM yet. That is what this thread is about.
- epistasis 4y agoMe: Hey Siri, call <my city> Toyota. Siri: I'm sorry, that contact is not in your list Me: Siri, what is the number for <my city> Toyota. Siri: <my city> Toyota's phone number is 123-456-7890 [said too fast to remember or write down in one go] Me: Siri, call <my city> Toyota Siri: I'm sorry, you do not have that contact number. Me: &$@@&/&&/&!!!
- gnicholas 4y agoI work around this by asking it to find Toyota in <my city>. Then if it finds the dealership, it asks if I want to navigate there, or call them. I find the worst errors to be when I ask it for information, or to send a text, and it instead places a phone call to someone. It will even call people that I have never called on my phone (a fact it should know), without asking first.
- fingerlocks 4y agoJust tried this exact interaction. Siri gave me a list of nearest Toyotas and made the call. Seems to be working just fine. Starting to think all these Siri complaints are either made up or really outdated.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoI only use Siri with the original Homepods. It has always been terrible. You cannot even tell it to start playing movies on the TV that you have already purchased from Apple itself in the TV app. It will start to play some random song or something. I should be able to say hey siri, start playing <name of media> on <name of Apple TV>, and it should be able to start the TV and start playing it.
- highwaylights 4y agoA friend has one that constantly plays U2 out of nowhere. He doesn't even listen to U2, and maintains that he's never requested it. This isn't in response to a prompt either. He'll unpause the connected TV and it'll just start blasting U2.
- fsckboy 4y agoSiri never tells me it has trouble connecting to the network, it says "something went wrong"
- astrange 4y agoIf you're asking for an LLM this will get worse because the first L means "large", as in too large to fit in a phone without a network connection.
