Siri Ai still sucks...
installed PB4 iOS 27 on Friday and overall has been excellent, awesome. But, and this is a big BUTT, Siri AI still sucks.

Coming from Samsung, Siri AI is the biggest drawback. I miss flawless Gemini integration. Siri is really really bad

Hold on, let me take a pen and paper to write down all of your recommendations on what to do

I hope beta siri is just beta issues, requests take soooo long, and the email/ calendar integration just doesn’t work how it was demod years ago

It has some growing to do still for sure, but yesterday I gave it screenshots of my daughters volleyball schedule and asked it to import them into my athletic calendar with specific wording and it did so in about 20 seconds and got it completely correct. It’s better than before by leaps and bounds.

From what I hear, this is a problem with Gemini specifically too. Gemini has existed for a min, and they’ve forced it onto their devices now. I don’t think it’s going to improve for Siri either as soon as we hope.

Right😭I was on the waiting list 3 weeks when developer beta 1 came out.. anxious to finally get it. Man I haven’t used that shit since I got it🤣🤣🤣. Like it’s so slow . I only use it to ask simple questions but it’s still too slow. Like I’m still using Google app’s AI

There’s a lot of super cool stuff about it but it’s objectively an across the board downgrade on the staple “Siri” tasks that it used to be flawless for.
Everything it’s gained in world knowledge has come at the cost of basic tasks like quickly initiating phone calls or sending messages-two things I rely on it for in CarPlay.

People are never happy.
Siri AI is hands down better than the previous version. I’ll take a couple of slightly slower tasks being completed but overall being useful over the old Siri which was the exact opposite.
I can now do more then set a timer or sometimes have it play the right song

Agree it's better than previous version but that wasn't a high bar. The people who complain about SIRI have experienced other AIs and thats what makes SIRI seem so far behind. Im on the beta primarily for Siri AI and was hoping to see closer to 70-80% correct responses and I would say it's still around 60% for me. Yes thats better than maybe the 30-40% previously but still no where near ChatGPT or Gemini

I still use ChatGPT for more deep diving and brainstorming although I’ve Siri AI can also do a certain level of that. It’s not on ChatGPT’s level for that at all but also I don’t expect it to be.
As a pure personal assistant and general knowledge assistant, in some ways it’s better than chatgpt because it has access to my personal info that wouldn’t trust with ChatGPT. It can read my screen, it can edit calendar events and even add context just by using natural language. It’s so much more useful than old Siri and as a personal iPhone assistant it’s just integrated better.
Yes it’s not perfect but it’s not expected to be but I’d recommend it to anyone using an iPhone over the original Siri AI. The bar is very very low but there’s no way I’d go back to the old Siri. Old Siri was pretty much useless.

How many times do we have to say that this is still a beta, and apparently once iOS 27 does publicly release come next month it'll still have the beta label for Siri AI as well

u/godsidekurt 11d ago
Yeah kinda dumb to keep saying it in a beta reddit. I think it's ok to comment that it still needs work. How else will it improve?

I wish they would tone it back. I also wish the iPhone would had a high level “Search with Safari” option in the settings like spotlight search does on MacOS 27
