ChatGPT in an iOS Shortcut – Worlds Smartest HomeKit Voice Assistant

Siri makes a lot of mistakes.

It keeps mishearing "a lamp" as "alarm", and goes into alarm setting mode even if the rest of the query makes no sense.

When told to turn of specific lights, it sometimes ignores the room/qualifier, and turns all lights off in the whole house.

Many other queries end up "I can't find <what you said> in your Music library".

Siri is three regexes in a trench coat.

Doesn't this Shortcut use the same voice recognition? Doesn't seem like a problem GPT solves.

You've missed the "even if the rest of the query makes no sense." part.

ChatGPT will have the same problem, since it works on the text iOS gave it. It's not clear to me it would perform any better at reformulating your query.

I expect it to know it's not possible to increase brightness of an alarm.
