Apple HomeView - Hackdot

Correct, it's not faster. Now it's slower to the point you aren't sure if it's ever going to work, then it comes back with some error.

Sure, it stopped being quite a stupid as before but it's not the nirvana they were promising, checks notes, 3+ years ago.

So it doesn't have the same issues as old Siri, just new issues.

Yes, it’s insanely slow now. So bad, I unenrolled from the beta. I mostly use Siri for reminders and alarms and somehow it was spending upwards of 5 seconds on the new Siri AI to do these tasks. Unusable.

> I mostly use Siri for reminders and alarms

Ahh yes, the only 2 things I can trust it for. The same tasks that now take longer and fail more often. I guess it understands me a little better but it's been rough. Also I see they left in the fun bugs of:

Me: "Siri, set a reminder for 1pm for XYZ"

Siri: ....

iPhone: No indication of anything done or Siri still waiting, looks like it just gave up

Me: "Siri, set a reminder for 1pm for XYZ"

Siri: ....

Siri: "Ok, I've set your reminder"

_1 pm rolls around_

2 reminders fire...
