My Brief Summer Fling With Siri AI
wired ·
The author describes initially being impressed by the beta version of Apple's revamped Siri AI assistant, using it as a tour guide and appreciating its ability to find personal information on the phone. However, over time, their usage tapered off and they grew neutral, reverting to old habits like manual searching and using Anthropic's Claude chatbot instead. Tech analysts suggest that despite criticism, Siri AI's integration and Apple's reputation for data privacy will keep most iPhone users loyal. Some beta testers report positive experiences with the new Siri, while others may avoid it due to broader distrust of generative AI. Ultimately, the author characterizes their time with Siri AI as a short-lived summer fling.
