call me weird but i never got into voice anything i don't want to talk out loud to my devices, i just want to turn a dial or press a button and move on. god forbid i have to type.

you're WEIRD lol

you've never wanted to say "hey siri, can you start a timer for 10 mins?" or "hey siri, what's the weather like?".

would you talk to your devices, if it made you more productive/do more cool stuff?

Pretty bad. It seems to have very limited context, and it mostly cant follow up on things if you have additional things to ask. It was ~fine when it first came out, but seems to have made basically zero progress since then, and frankly feels pretty dumb compared to talking with modern LLM-type apps.

yeah agree, i guess there was no compounding scaling tech that was used for siri but now that the new siri is coming out, it's interesting to see how people react to it and if they change their views.

i'm certainly open to changing mines!
