Me: "Hey Siri, when is the Washington birthday holiday?"
Siri: "Today isn't a holiday, not in the United States anyway."
Copilot: "Washington's birthday, also known as President's Day, is celebrated on the third Monday in February."
It's nice that Apple is giving Siri an intelligence upgrade with the new iOS, but until it integrates with Chat GBT (maybe in December) it doesn't have a chance against the latest generative AI chatbots. I can't tell you the number of times I've cursed it after it supplied the wrong answer to a question it made up in its idiotic little brain and heard, "I won't respond to that," which turns me into enough of an idiot to yell, "You just DID respond."
So, yes, in that scenario I'm the post.
Anyway, Siri has absolutely been good for one thing besides telling stupid dad jokes, which I try to send my kids a few times a week: It has forced me to clean up the way I talk. With Siri, I can't mumble or mispronounce. To have any chance of getting a good answer, I have to slow down and enunciate like i'm on radio. That's been good for me, though somewhat painful.
One more thing: Never confide in a vacuum cleaner. They're always gathering dirt.
