    First “machine learning” made Siri way worse, and AI now hasn’t helped at all.

    Back when it first came out it was a bad command line over voice with no documentation, but you could at least learn some repeatable commands.

    Now it’s always a crapshoot that somewhat kinda sometimes maybe works.

    I usually read articles like this, however I could not.

    I use an iPhone 14 Pro Max and plan to upgrade soon. When I do, it won't be because of of AI or Siri. It will be because of my battery slowly dying and me wanting a better camera.

    I read a report recently that AI subscriptions have paid out around $20 billion or something, where-as investment far exceeded that. I am still waiting on someone to tell me we aren't in a bubble based on that info.
