The rushed launch of Apple Intelligence was a debacle, reminding Apple it should focus on readiness rather than quickly appeasing shareholders.

It’s somehow less useful than Siri, which… fuuuuuck.
Right? Instead of "I can show you some web results on your phone" every time it's now "Would you like to ask ChatGPT?" every time. Barf.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t get that!”
Seriously. I used to actually use Siri.
I realized this yesterday when I went through the manual process of unlocking my phone and looking for another LLM app to ask a question.
I don’t even trust Siri anymore to open an app.
Don’t get me started on music. I used to be able to say “Hey Siri, play this whole album” or “play that song” and it would play the whole album.
She’s absolutely useless.
Same!!! I used to tell people that Siri was good at what it’s intended to do. Ask it to set a reminder or timer or ask a basic question and it’s good.
But then Alexa came along and changed the paradigm for what voice assistants could do and so the questions to Siri became more complex. And it fell over quickly.
Even today I asked it “does HomeKit support sprinkler systems?” And I got the dreaded “I can send you web results if you ask from your iPhone.”
Completely useless.
What? I literally did this an hour ago in the car.
“Siri, play (artist name)’s latest album.”
*proceeds to play requested album
Am I missing something?
I meant like when there’s a random song playing from shuffle, I used to be able to tell Siri “play this album” or “what album is this song from” and she would play the full album or tell me what album the song came from. No longer knows how to do that and tells me something about not knowing how to do that.
Works fine if you have Apple Music, without it Siri just can't do anything anymore even though it used to work fine with local device music.
Next version of Apple Intelligence: Rollback to Siri, but with "I Am Genius." added to the end of every answer.
