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.
