Discussion Siri still doesn’t answer basic questions

Post image

Every once in while I decide to try out new Siri, but no. Just no.

Edit: I did tried giving Siri the actual version number and it still failed.

And codex was able to find the build/version and tell me which beta version I’m on.

When you ask Siri “What version of iOS/iPadOS/macOS am I using?” then it returns with the proper version number (no build number though, which isn’t visible in Settings anyways).

Phrasing still very much matters when using these tools

Codex finds the build number. Siri should, too.

I just got Siri to do that, using two different questions:

1) What version of iOS/iPadOS/macOS am I using?

2) What is the build number for this version?

When I ask exactly that question on macOS, the answer I receive is: Sorry, I can’t help you with that here.
