      Given what we’ve seen of the current trend of generative AI chatbots, it’ll continue to be useless.

        Yes but now it will be useless and make stuff up instead of just saying “Something went wrong” or “I don’t understand” to every request

        I don’t agree. It can be leaps and bounds better. Won’t be amazing but if it’s essentially ChatGPT with a voice, it’ll be a huge upgrade.

      Always has been.

      Did Siri be good at any moment though?

      I remember it sucked since its conception and in the most recent iOS versions too.

        It always sucked tbh, but I think what the OP meant is that when it came out, it was understandable that it was very limited and not good, yet still innovative and interesting. Apple just never really improved it beyond that.

          This makes sense, now that I think about it, there used to be a tweak that mimics Siri for devices that didn’t support it, it was called Sara lol.

          And yeah Siri was better but still Sara shipped some interesting ideas like keyboard support, like any ideas that Apple took from old tweaks.
