Siri: Still problems to answer simple questions

31/03/2025

With the iOS 18.4, which is expected this week, their voice should actually come together for the auxiliary Siri, including the understanding of the user’s personal reference. But Apple initially postponed the function – as well as others, such as the control and screening of apps by the language, first, probably, will probably be done before 2026. At the same time, the current boundaries of the current boundaries of Siri are always criticized.

Month question

The system still answers simple questions or not at all or is unreliable. The fact is that Apple with iOS 18, according to its own statements, claims to have the beginning of “the beginning of a new era for Siri”. Unfortunately, hardly there can be any talk of “better understanding of language” (“understanding language”). The new “comprehensive product knowledge”, with which Siri is considered to help in the operation of the iPhone, is often hit, as users criticized.

For example, if you ask what the current month is (“what is the current month?”) Answer “It was Saturday, March 1, 2025.” If you ask this question a little differently (which month is it? “) Siri does not understand – Meanwhile, the current date is mentioned (but not a month alone). Meanwhile, users are going to activate chats (on devices with Apple Intelligence, currently only in English), which, however, takes more time in a few seconds and means that the data goes into Openaai.

Siri knows the products inadequate

In the so-called product knowledge, a type of AI-based manual, wrong information appears for the iPhone. so Menu setting system Or name settings wrong or only insufficient. In theory, it can have bad consequences if users make settings on Siri’s instructions that they do not want.

Siri was first displayed in Autumn 2011 by Apple. Since then, development has only moved forward. However, the competition was also possible: Amazon’s Alexa also meant that users knew which commands work and which not. However, the voice control system with Alexa+ has now been converted to the age of chatbots. Users have to wait for a long time until the Siri comes.
