You guys use Siri?
- Noaidi 9mo agoOnly when I wake up in the middle of the night to ask it what is the current time of the dystopia. That and the calculator.
- manuelmoreale 9mo agoMy exact reaction every time I hear people discuss Siri. I don’t think I used it once in my life and it’s one of the first thing I turn off every time I have a new device. So interesting to see how different people use the same devices in completely different ways.
- moi2388 9mo agoSiri is extremely useful. That is, if your use cases are limited to: - setting a timer - dictating a title to search on Apple TV
- spinningarrow 9mo agoCreating calendar events and reminders too! A feature set that has remained unchanged since Siri’s launch…
- manuelmoreale 9mo agoMakes sense then, considering timers I set them on my watch and I don’t watch tv.
- mbirth 9mo agoYou can use Siri to call custom Shortcuts which in turn can ask for more details if required. And now that Shortcuts can make use of the LLMs (Apple’s or ChatGPT), there are a lot more ways to make Siri smarter.
- godzillabrennus 9mo agoI used it when it launched to figure out it was useless and haven't gone back.
- rootusrootus 9mo agoOnly for opening/closing the garage door, setting timers, and sending texts. What else do people use the digital assistants for?
- jen20 9mo agoHundreds of times a day for HomeKit, though rarely anything else. It’s _mostly_ fine, provided there are no HomePods around.
- redwall_hp 9mo agoFor CarPlay, yes. I don't need a virtual assistant to do things I can do but worse; I need reliable voice controls to send messages, start phone calls, change the map destination and such with as little friction as possible. Siri needs faster and more flexible handling of Spotify, Google Maps and third-party messaging apps, not a slop generator.
