    Dude, it really is the fucking worst. I asked siri this morning “how long will it take for me to drive to my next appointment.” She pulls up my calendar appointment. So I then ask “how long will it take for me to get there?” It then does a fucking web search “how long will it take for me to get there?” So. Fucking. Dumb. The more I use ChatGPT, the worse Siri seems.

    EDIT: I should note that the address was in the calendar appointment.

      It’s not even *consistent* in what it’s dumb about. Sometimes, something works that makes you go “Wait - that was actually quite good …” so then you try it again and she’s back to asking Wolfram Alpha how to send a text to my mom.

      Siri has almost gotten me into car wrecks with how bad it is. I typically only use it while driving, and she can’t even read me a basic answer to a question, instead saying “Here’s some results from the web. Is this okay?”

      Like no, I’m driving. Read the f’in results

      This was me the other day. I asked Siri to “text my wife how far I’m from home” she first needed me to unlock my phone and second she gave me results from the web.

      I then asked her how far I’m from home and she said 5 minutes. Can two and two not be put together.

      Worst part is some requests will work one day, then not work the next, then work again.

      Especially with requests about HomeKit or commands that have similar wording to HomeKit scenes. Drives me nuts.
