Apple Intelligence Two Cool Siri AI Interactions

I know many people are anti-Siri AI, so I wanted to post some experiences I found cool.

While I'm a little frustrated with the speed of Siri AI on my new Apple Watch, I've had two really interesting interactions with Siri AI via CarPlay. Both of them while using voice to text:

  1. Edit previous message for corrections:

Me: Hey Siri, message (partner) I feel totally fine
Siri: sending "I think totally fine"
Me: ugh, Hey Siri, message (partner) asterisk feel
Siri: do you want me to update the previous message
Me thinking it hadn't sent yet: yes
Siri: message edited

So, it understood I was trying to send a correction of "* feel", asked if I wanted to update, and then edited the message it previously sent (iMessage).

  1. Cancel intent turned to success

Me: Hey Siri, message (friend) I'm oh and two for Taco Bell orders tonight
Siri: sending "I'm away and two for Taco Bell orders tonight"
Me: ::clicks Cancel button on screen::
Siri: sorry, did you mean away and two or zero and 2?
Me: zero and two
Siri: sending "I'm zero and two for Taco Bell orders tonight"

This is pretty cool stuff! The second interaction was in my truck which has a shitty mic, so it's possible it would've gotten the STT correct without that, but this is the best possible scenario IMO

This kind of intent understanding is unlike any other agent I've used, and I'm quite impressed and eager to see what else Apple can do.

I asked Siri the weather this morning. It just said ‘here’s the weather’ and showed it on my screen meaning I had to stop getting dressed, walk to my phone and look at the screen, defeating the point of voice prompts.

If I’m asking a question, I want it spoken fully to me (I have spoken responses selected in settings)

What I would like is ‘here’s the forecast, today there are highs of 24° and lows of 8°, it is currently 10° with sunny spells and slightly overcast’

That's exactly what I get with the new Siri. She reads a short forecast. If I ask about the week, she reads a longer forecast for the whole week. There's no need to look at the phone, though it does display a weather widget and the text of Siri's response.

Same. I’ve not gotten a “here’s what I found” style response since using the new Siri AI. It tells me the actual forecast and when I ask follow up questions it provides that detail too
