I use Siri to set reminders except it is completely unable to handle reminders like “remind me this afternoon to follow up with Joe about the event on June 25”. It sees the June 25 and the reminder is now for the afternoon of June 25. I manage a theater, so this is a very very common scenario and it’s super frustrating. It speaks to there being no real understanding going on, just pattern matching on things that look like dates. I don’t need GPT4, but surely we can do better than this.
- kgwxd 3y agoYou could use shorthand for date and times in the title. I tried your prompt saying "J N 2 5" instead but apparently "this afternoon" is 5PM, so that's odd.
- OkGoDoIt 3y agoSiri hard codes this afternoon to mean literally right after 12 PM. So if at 1pm you ask it to remind you to do something this afternoon, it will put it at 12:00pm the following day. I just double checked it right now. It’s currently 12:18 PM, and I asked Siri “remind me to test this in the afternoon“ and it set a reminder for tomorrow at 12:00 PM
