Re: [iPad] iPad Insight: iOS 11 Wishlist- Taking Siri Seriously

 


Thanks for that.  Didn't read every word, but what I did was more discouraging than uplifting.  This, for example:

I have always had a love/hate relationship with Siri. When it works, it can be very useful, but when it doesn't at the moment that you need it to, it can make you want to smash your iPhone. It really doesn't take a high failure rate at all to get users to lose trust in a product's reliability. Unfortunately, Siri has burned enough users enough times over the last six years that it's hard to find many people who still have a high level of confidence in it at this point.

Six years is a very long time for a tech company to keep getting it wrong.  I don't care about voice input and exchange.  I never use it and almost certainly never will.  But it does seem to have traction and staying power.  People, I've read, love their Echos, and the author says voice is here to stay.  Apple's six-year-long stumble in the area is cringeworthy.

I never stop wondering whether Apple's simply bitten off far more than they can chew. They sometimes seem like a small company that accidentally grew very rich without having matured.

Imagine Siri as a chat bot. In iMessage. Hrm. In addition to being able to interact with her using voice. Hrm. But otherwise yea she needs to improve. I agree. 

iOS 11 Wishlist- Taking Siri Seriously
iPad Insight

When Apple bought SRI International in 2010 and subsequently integrated the technology from their app Siri into iOS 5 in 2011, they took an early lead in the race to provide advanced voice assistance on mobile devices. However, as has been the case many other times when Apple took a step forward in the smartphone space, the competition quickly closed the gap. They caught up to the capacitive screen, the multi-touch interface, the Retina display, and eventually Siri, as well. Read the full story
