I feel like Steve Jobs would have designed what real androids should be.

Instead Apple can’t even manage to implement speech to text that works in safari and can’t manage to make Siri not suck.

I don’t know if Tim Cook has actually tried Siri day-to-day like most typical users who get frustrated. Half the time I ask siri to convert units of measure, it pulls up a web search? We’re not asking for siri to have LLM abilities to compose sonnets. Interestingly, does anyone remember when siri would use WolframAlpha for answers? Perhaps that’s the company Apple should buy not OpenAI.

Text to speech doesn’t work correctly either. It often highlights different words than what is currently spoken.
