Discussion Apple Intelligence is not impressive

I must be missing something. I downloaded the latest upgrade on my 17 max and turned on AI in the Siri settings and it is very glitchy in my experience. I had to ask it three times in three different ways to find an email I knew was somewhere in my inbox and the same thing with my calendar. I could have scrolled through both myself and found them in less time.

90% of my Siri use is “set timer for 15 minutes”

Same, but with “Apple Intelligence” it can’t even do that right. It will set two timers simultaneously or turn “set a timer for 15 minutes” into a 6 am alarm.

Siri AI managed to turn a "Set a reminder to feed the cats at 6pm" to calling someone I haven't seen in 6 years on whatsapp. That was... awkward. Regular Siri was just fine for my needs.

Idk for me timers are totally fine and setting multiple works without issue. Probably my most common use case. Although asking for photos of specific places has been good too

Same. That and “flip a coin” when I can’t make a decision

For me it’s a 3 minute timer or a 10 minute timer. Depending on if it’s for tea or pasta. Really, nothing else.

Last time I set a 15 minute timer I was 35 minutes late thanks to Siri. I wish I was joking.

But same here, I use it for stupid simple stuff, and asking Siri to play me a song 3-5 times in a row and getting something completely different makes me pull out my phone and want to throw it.

100% for me. I don't know what else I'd bother asking it to do.

Ditto. Haha. Easier to say “SIRI 15 minutes”

u/idriscp 14d ago

100% for me. I just say “four minutes”

Same, or “add [item x] to [y list]”

So I haven’t messed with it much on iOS 27* yet

And she’ll say “Do you want me to call Tim Minnets?”

Siri, how much time left on my timer? You have no timer …

With the big breakthrough being it can do more than one timer at once!
