Siri’s Not Aging Well
Oh Siri, can you just grow up already? Apple made Siri a little more versatile via Shortcuts, but only just. While Shortcuts is a great way to add visual-based programs to your iOS device, it isn’t a solution to the Siri problem. The issue isn’t Siri’s lack of commands, it’s its lack of understanding.
Google and others have been showing off their future plans for their respective virtual assistants; and, some assistants are blazing the trail for others. It isn’t unlike Apple to stay mum on their future plans, but Siri Shortcuts is a possible indicator there isn’t a plan at all. Until Apple decides to show Siri how to play with the big boys and girls, it’s going to continue searching the web for a lot of answers.
