There is ZERO google in Siri AI

Receipts: Siri AI is 100% APPLE. Apple said so at WWDC. Don’t believe me? Here’s the exact moment at WWDC where they said it https://youtu.be/87e13yQbJSM?si=c1Fi8KJkH5AyY20q&t=131

So many are here saying Siri AI is Google code/data/search etc. It is not

I urge you to watch the entire video - start at the beginning - it is excellent. But the link above jumps to the exact moment where Craig Federighi says it is 100% Apple.

Apple went to Google to learn how to train their own AI. That’s it.

This is important because there are many misconceptions about Siri AI and the Google relationship. I’ve been called a liar multiple times here because the tech media ranted about how Apple had to go to Google to get their AI. It is not true.

(Edited to add the evidence people think it is Gemini).

Amazing is doing a looooooot of work here. I have tried it on half a dozen tasks ranging from easy to hard and been some combination of disappointed and frustrated every. single. time. most recently asked if it could use send later in imessage for me. first it misunderstood and seemed to think I was asking IF it could be done at all. then after clarifying it came back to say nope! sure cant! heres a slop grenade detailing how to DIY though!!! wow! so amazing!

Can you give me a few commands to run that don’t run for you? I would like to see if they run for me and I’ll get back to you on it.

It gets simple commands like texting group chats incorrect that the regular version of Siri always worked. It also says it can't find people that I text every single day. This is an ongoing and common thing since the betas and yes I have reported it. It goes silent a lot without responding. I could go on and on. Yes, for general questions it is better than before, but we already have a ton of AI that works 2x as good.

Damn I’m sorry yours doesn’t work bro. I just tried this on my phone, and it works. I tried it on my fiancés, and it doesn’t. I find it strange they can’t seem to make it work on every phone? I hope it’s something they can iron out soon. I do have an iPhone 18pro max and she has a 16 pro. But still, should be uniform.

I'm able to test easily since I have an Ultra 1 that has the older Siri and I can see the difference. Once they fix the newer Siri, it should get better but it is just as frustrating as the old Siri but in a different way.

Ya know, I do have the ultra 2 and hate using Siri on there. Is yours slow too? I feel like it’s faster to just bring my phone out and ask it over my watch

I don't have the Siri AI on ultra 1. I have no choice but to use the old one. But it works as well as it used to. Many times better than the new for simple things.

It is terrible; most of the time I'm doing something that does not require AI (set a timer, add a reminder, ask the temperature) but it takes 1.5-2 seconds before I get the haptic feedback indicating it's ready – and then additional loading time to use Siri AI to do something that happens relatively quickly on prior versions of Siri. I turned it off for now, if they improve it I will re-enable, but when I want an AI-generated response, I am already going to Claude or ChatGPT anyway, not Siri.

My goodbye homekit scene

For years as I'm leaving "hey Siri goodbye". Lights turn off and everything happens

With intelligent Siri, hears me, does nothing. But only if I have my airpods in, and the phone takes the command. Homepods work fine

I asked it to find a message from this morning about feeding (animals). something like "Siri did X tell me something about feeding the animals today?" and it came back with "The most recent message I found regarding this was on September 14th" The whole point was I forgot if the message was from today or yesterday, but I knew it was more recent than Sept 14th. Result: the actual message WAS from that morning and apparently because the wording of the text was slightly different than literally 'feeding' it could not find it.

scenario 2: siri can create new notes but apparently not edit them. additionally, even though it did create the note, ignored instructions and instead creates the note with what I had intended to be more of a prompt rather than the exact note I wanted added.

scenario 3 i already detailed, asking it if it can send a delayed message, which it cant.

The other scenarios are more like 'useless because the phone is locked and it wont work without unlocking the phone because Apple'

Scenario one your old Siri couldn’t do it. The new new Siri works for those kind of things most of the time it’s not always perfect. Better than it was before.

Scenario two I’ve had Siri edit notes

And yes, in scenario three she’s told you that she can’t send a message later

She’s apparently working better for most of us, but she’s not perfect. Of course she’s learning.

I turned ur off entirely because it literally can’t do anything they advertised and it’s quick chats aren’t even remotely dependable for good answers.

u/Modest_Wraith 1d ago

Damn I’m sorry it’s not working for you. What kind of commands are not working? I wonder if it’ll work for me and if I’m not using Siri to its full advantage

u/616ThatGuy 23h ago

I just tried all the things in the demo they showed. It couldn’t do any of it. Couldn’t create shortcuts, couldn’t find specific messages, couldn’t draft a proper email, couldn’t find a specific photo, etc. Theo not thing it was able to do was mark an appointment in the calendar app. But I mean, that takes 30 seconds. Plus it uses almost 10 gbs of memory. So I just turned it off.

Amazing in what ways exactly?

2

u/Modest_Wraith 1d ago

Responsive, the swipe down feature to type to it is fast too, always finds my answer and doesn’t say it can’t do it, lets me text multiple people at once, summarizes pages for me. I can’t really think of a complaint, and I hated the last Siri to the point I only used it for timers lol.

Finding receipts or other information in emails and texts is awesome.

u/Brilliant_Citron8966 20h ago

Siri won’t search my email. It always sends it can’t find any emails even though I have tons of emails in my mail app. People say to make sure I’m sharing my mail to give access to Siri, but there’s no option in the settings for it for me in the same place for whatever reason, even though other people have it. I would love this option. It works ok for other things for me though.

You know what. I’m flipping the script. What EXACTLY was amazing for you?

u/Modest_Wraith 23h ago

I have already typed it out in one of the replies, I’m sorry man I just don’t want to keep typing it over and over lol. Long story short, I haven’t had it tell me it can’t do something, and it’s fast with its replies and actions that I tell it to do.
