Seriously? Another Year, Still No Proper Siri.

Right, listen up you lot. Apple just unveiled the iPhone 17 – and surprise fucking surprise, Siri is still dumber than a bag of hammers. They’re not even *trying* to compete with Google Assistant or whatever other AI crap everyone else is shoving down our throats right now. Instead, they’re focusing on… wait for it… better cameras, faster chips, and some fancy new display tech. Groundbreaking. Truly.

Apparently, Apple thinks people are perfectly happy taking pretty pictures while yelling at a phone that can barely understand “Set an alarm for 7 AM.” They’ve got this whole “privacy” angle going on, which is code for “we haven’t bothered to build anything good enough yet so we’re blaming it on protecting your data.” They’re banking on the ecosystem lock-in and brand loyalty. Pathetic.

The article says these new iPhones will have “AI features” eventually, offloaded to the cloud. So basically, they’re admitting Siri is a mess and are hoping nobody notices they’re just using someone else’s AI brain. And people will eat it up because… Apple logo. It’s infuriating.

They also added some new “Capture Button” for photos. Oh joy. More buttons. What we *really* need is an assistant that doesn’t make us feel like we’re talking to a brick. But no, let’s have another button. Fantastic.

Honestly, the whole thing reeks of complacency and thinking their customers are idiots. Don’t expect me to be impressed anytime soon.

You know, back in ’98 I was tasked with migrating a *very* important database. The client insisted on using this GUI tool instead of proper SQL scripting because “it’s easier.” Three days later, the entire system crashed and we were rebuilding from backups. Sound familiar? Apple is that client. They’re all about shiny surfaces and ignoring fundamental problems. And I’m stuck summarizing their failures.
