As a Texan first, American second, I sympathize with this statement. Siri can't understand me probably 25% of the time. I use STT for iMessage while in the car, and half the time it will take 3+ times to either get it right or me give up, and hope to remember to text them by hand when I next stop.
- vlovich123 2mo agoWhat does this mean? When I pledged my oath to become a citizen, I had to promise to put America above all other allegiances. Is it in relation to allegiance in the general sense or some weird statement that only relates to STT?
- newAccount2025 2mo agoI took it to mean “as someone with a Texas accent”
- Barbing 2mo agoWhen they say everything's bigger in Texas, maybe that includes the patriotism.
- jermaustin1 2mo agoTexans (generally) consider themselves Texans firsts. Similar to born and raised New Yorkers (NYC). That said, I really meant it tongue-in-cheek that my accent was too thick, and doesn't work well for Siri's STT model. ChatGPT's does way better, but I really don't like talking to an LLM.
- spacedcowboy 2mo agoYeah, but I had my fingers crossed behind my back. I hail from, and only stand for, the Republic Of Scouse. (and if you think Texans have it bad regarding being understood, try being a Scouser [1]) 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ5Isx6Hi0E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ5Isx6Hi0E
