This type of stuff gives me PTSD flashbacks from trying timo de-crapify Windows.
thewhitetulip•37m ago
I am tired to fight against every platform that I have to use

De macify Mac Degoogle Android Demacify ipad DeLLM chrome browsers local llm

Can we expect sane decisions from corpos about what we want rather than what latest thing they want to push on us?

jhack•34m ago
Apple says their users make 2.5B Siri requests per day. Sounds like people want it?
Hodgewocket•27m ago
Are they aware?
moribvndvs•27m ago
Even though I do use it, a choice would be nice.
GuinansEyebrows•24m ago
i wonder how many of them are like 100% of my requests?

- "set a timer for 14 minutes"

- "remind me to make a doctor's appointment tomorrow at noon"

- "turn off the bedroom lights"

that don't require any form of AI and have functioned perfectly well (aside from having a hard time when i mumble) for years on non-AI versions of Siri?

thewebguyd•8m ago
I suspect even some of the more "advanced" queries they demoed off, i.e., "what was that restaurant John and I talked about last week?" also not require LLMs whatsoever and could have been accomplished with a simple search.
exographicskip•8m ago
This matches my use cases. Poor speech to text recognition so I don't trust siri to do anything non-trivial
tiborsaas•11m ago
Do they have a breakdown for platforms? iOS vs. macOS, I'd bet most of it is iOS.

I don't have Siri enabled, I've never felt the need for it on desktop.

You don't need to. Use the alternatives.
jtbayly•19m ago
Yeah, I’ll wait to update my computers until Apple gives us an actual choice.

Off topic. Since old.reddit is now login walled, is there an alternative frontend?
