I wish I could upvote this twice
I only had to read about the first 2 words. Too perfect.
Perplexity has a Shortcuts integration and I kinda got it to work with Siri, that’ll have to do for now
How'd you get it to be so snarky?
I told it to act British
But also I told it that it was part of a government-funded project to save the lives of children, and as part of this project it had to be snarky and sarcastic and not care about offending people. If you frame a task within something government-related or say the task will save lives, it’s far more likely to do it.
Am I the only one that’s never had any issue with Siri understanding me? The thing does what little I tell it to with no issues.
Well to be fair I have the same problems with the humans that I live with
“what little I tell it” may be the key to your success. If you’ve only ever set timers and asked it the temperature in Cupertino, you probably think it’s great.
I’ve attempted far more than this. Things that Google search can answer with it’s top result. Things that other voice assistants can do. Things that seem mechanistic to me like “what time will United Flight 1201 from Phoenix to San Francisco arrive?” And it can’t do it. Just returns web results.
Never once has Siri pleasantly surprised me with its answer. Many many times it has disappointed me, even with low expectations.
Alexa fails the simple things. So Siri is better than that at least.
The issue isn't understanding its comprehension.
