I wish they would forget the really advanced features and just focus on little ones. Like particularly with Alexa back when I used to use that, one of the major frustrations was figuring out the magical word order that would get it to do what I wanted, it would only do a thing if I said it in a certain way otherwise it would get condfused or do the wrong thing. An LLM would be great at making that not happen.

But instead of just that little bit, they’re trying to do Star Trek levels of computer voice control, missing out on incremental improvements.

From the comments link. I feel like this nails it. Furthermore I just want to add that in addition to poorly implementing overly advanced features, “Apple Intelligence” is slower at implementing simple tasks compared to Siri before AI. I really notice this because I use Siri to do simple division problems at work all day long and since Apple Intelligence I’ve noticed a longer delay to the answer. Finally turned it off the other day and what do you know, Siri can suddenly calculate quickly again.
