Apple Updates Siri With Improved Baseball Acumen

I wish Siri was not so uncouth.

It's "It looks as though" not "It looks like".

Waiting for Apple to deliver a well-spoken Siri.

I'm waiting for offline functionality for basic tasks like 'call xxxx, read last message'. No need to bounce every single request off their servers.

Siri can do baseball questions now? Wow wee. Mine still can't do things like set a timer without an error. Almost anything I ask for results in a delay, followed by a google search, unless, of course, I know it's in the list of 10 questions I'm able to ask it.

Can I ask when high tide is? no. And it knows it can't. So Apple knows it can't. Why isn't there a list of un-answerable Siri questions, that Apple logs, and then lets us, the internet, craft answers. The first 5 people that ask some question get nothing, but everyone after that may get somewhere with it, without defaulting to a stupid google results list.

Siri is 10% of what it should be, and 1% of what Samuel Jackson made us think it would be.

I wish Apple would let us choose the default assistant in the same way we choose a default browser. I'd swap it out for anything else.

The first best thing i love in the iPhone is "SIRI".

Apple products make one of the best world in everyone's life . . . i Proud to say, we live with inventions of apple apps :)

Are you serious? Siri is borderline garbage compared to Google Now and even some 3rd party iOS apps (like Hound, that works much much faster and is much more precise, but because iOS is locked down, has no chance to compete with Siri).
I truly fail to understand how company with billions upon billions of cash laying around (Apple) can be really good at some products, but so behind its competition in so many other areas (like Siri, online services in general, music, storage space, timely updates to Mac products etc etc etc).

Oh great sports scores, what a great thing no one asked for. Apple really just know how to develop crap that interests them and not what customers are calling for.. The list is getting endless - do I even need to say 16GB devices.

I would personally love a bilingual Siri. So I could ask for titles in French with English Siri (or vice versa). I do understand the complexities, but link to "Hey Siri" vs "Dis Siri", you could easily switch.

I wish we could use it hands free by saying custom phrases like 'Oi, read me bloody email you drunk!'

If you think Siri is good you should try Google, then you'll know what good is. I have both but rarely use Siri as she's hopeless.

No one cares about Baseball apple. Siri needs to be able manipulate 3rd party apps

Yeah It's kinda depressing how Apple has let Siri languish. As for recognizing my voice, I'm a bit of a soft-spoken person who sometimes mumbles. But Siri has gotten much better for me over the years. It's rare that she doesn't understand what I said. Now does she always deliver the information I need? Nope. But at least she understands my speech, lol. It's too bad she isn't a real AI. I imagine her code more like a series of simple if this, then that logic blocks than software that is actually learning anything or customizing herself for me. So I like your suggestion of having her be smart enough, or a team at Apple seeking out sources to find answers for common questions that she gets and can't answer. Apple needs to spend a lot more time researching and developing AI that can actually learn and find information by searching the web. There were rumors a long while back that maybe later this year or sometime next year we'll hear an announcement from Apple about some crazy new search breakthrough. Otherwise Siri isn't much smarter than the day she was born. She just has a few new features. Your question about high tide is a perfect example. How can she not know this? Hopefully in iOS 10, Siri will be able to find answers at least from our apps. I think Apple made Spotlight indexing API available to developers for a reason. It's just a pain to have to have a tides app installed on your phone to find the answer to something freely available on the internet with a simple search.

Oh man so here. I just want to add a reminder. Surely that can be done offline and then upload it later?
