Siri got .”a big update” so many times and still Siri is as dumb as it was in the first day.
The same thing with Alexa and Google Assistant, proving thet the much hyped AI is a mere sophisticated algorithm used mainly to mute humans in certain circumstances.

apple charge big money for privacy but also have to buy tons of data from FB, amazon and google to get Siri working… people are naive that their info is private. people love the fact that apple is so big on privacy but is so willing to give privacy away on other platform only to buy back that info to get apple eco system working. This is a great business model charge big money for privacy, tell everyone we are so great at privacy and buy tons of your data on the cheap.

Espetially Journalists should lay the way more emphasis on privacy and not just say: 2:00 “the extra privacy is a nice touch”. Isn’t it the task of Journalism to question the politics behind products and the effect on the global democracy? … As a deep believer in the need of journalism this makes me sad.

Google translate is way more powerful. It can translate from pictures or even liver translate from the camera.
Bafflingly, Google Translate works better on the iPhone than on the Pixel 4.

More powerful doesn’t mean better. Many negotiations and travellers are offline sometimes. This translation from iOS is very useful and easy. Even those larn8ng a language. All offline

Why are they telling us how many more facts Siri will know than it did THREE YEARS AGO? All that matters today is how many more facts Siri will know than it does TODAY. Because today, Siri still kind of sucks.

I’m waist deep with tech that integrates to Google, and have created routine customized to mine; too exhausting to adapt to a new system, even though I’m charging my iPhone, wearing my iWatch, have Apple TV running in the background, and typing this message on my iPad…

All that money and Apple is trying to catch up with smart home devices? What is that even about? They’re like the top mobile phone, tablet and computer sellers… I’ll never get it. People come into the store I work for and purchase Google products because they felt like Apple and Amazon weren’t meeting their needs.

When you look at what you can do with $100 with the echo ecosystem vs the overpriced HomeKit ecosystem it is just plain embarrassing. I can get 4 smart switches for the Echo for about $20, while in HomeKit land it will get you ½ of one. You could outfit your whole house for less than $200 in the echo world including smart plugs and bulbs everywhere and Wyze door sensors and cameras. Amazing.
I read an article a while ago about how Amazon’s question when offering a product is how little can we charge and still make a profit, so we dominate the market share, while Apple asks what is the most we can charge for this, and dominates the profit margin.

Does anyone actually use this? Nothing much is available for it here so it’s pretty much no use at all. Siri just seems pointless, doing nothing I can’t already do without it.
