Siri, while not great, handles timers, reminders, and dumbshit like that just fine without typing. I have yet to find another good use for these assistants.
“Hey siri, set a timer for 50 minutes” (time my dryer takes). “Timer set for 15 minutes”. Every god damn time. I say 49 minutes now.
I turned off “hey siri”, just hold down the power button now, but absolutely, you. GOT. To. Uh-Nunce-Ee-Ate. Ev-Ver-Ree-Thing. Vare-LEE. Clear-LEE.
You can just say ‘five zero’ and it’ll be interpreted as 50, I just tried it.
Agreed. I find myself using Siri on walks via AirPods quite a bit. Siri what’s the weather going to be like tonight . Siri what’s in my calendar tomorrow. Siri what’s the latest news. (That opens up podcast app and plays local news I love it. ). Siri let me know when it’s 12:30. I just wish it got better at answering simple questions. A few articles mentioned Apple started looking at incorporating a GPT style AI with Siri.
Shit. I use it to tell me how to spell words.
“Hey Siri, sophistication”
Yep. I’ve used my Google assistant for timers, alarms, weather, and music. Anything more complex is a headache. Even music is half the time.
Asking the thing to handle music in another language was terrible. Asking it to play a French song to an assistent set in English gives stupid results for example. “Que sera, sera” becomes “Oh Sarah”.
