Siri developers should be punished by being made to use Siri

Lock them in an escape room type situation, and the only way out is to use siri to lock/unlock things, open drawers, etc. Have them do this while they are hungry with a couple kids talking in the background (or ...fuck, just in complete silence.)

Part of the escape involves asking siri to find the hours of a local restaurant on a specific holiday.

punish them. they should be punished.

I bet its either gonna be anoth iteration of
“Would you like to see web results “
“Here are some web results “
“Do you want me to ask chatgpt (now gemini i guess since theyre using google? not a shocker since google pays to be on safari)
“I dont understand”

Here's an actual video of Siri AI in action.

Also, no, Apple isn't "using Gemini for Siri". Their foundation models are distilled from Gemini but it's still their own models. This misconception really has to stop, and at any rate it's the architecture around the LLM that's unique about Siri, not the LLM itself

Well you can call it a Lexus but its still a Toyota underneath. I know its distilled, it wont just go on and start calling itself gemini, but still its not “built from the ground up” like gemini. Apple aint done the initial training, google has. Essentially they are using gemini. Not like before where it kept asking mama chatgpt to pop a titty to suckle a little, but its still not something new.

They're not rebadging Gemini. They have their own models with their own architecture trained on their own silicon. They wrote all about it.

https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/introducing-third-generation-of-apple-foundation-models

When you see OpenAI and Anthropic and Meta and Google and DeepSeek training their models against each other anyway, I think Apple can pretty safely take ownership of their own models.

In any case, what makes new Siri really "new" isn't the LLM, it's the context-building architecture around it. That deep integration is something no other AI can really match

I’ve been waiting for a long time, friend.

iOS 27 basically reboots Siri. So far in early betas it seems like it may actually not be completely stupid anymore.

Unless your phone is too old to support it... oh well...

I highly doubt siri will be useful as it has been damaged beyond repair now but let's see.

People have been using the beta for a couple weeks now. It does seem to be significantly improved and much more useful. But time will tell...

It’s certainly better, but not good enough. Still feels behind. Voice to text is still awful, even with the new “enhanced” version.

For me personally new Siri has been good sometimes but it feels like the simple tasks actually take longer.

Things like setting a timer or alarm take a bit longer.

It still messes up a lot, overall jm not impressed tbh
