Apple’s Spin on A.I. and iPadOS Multitasking ⇥ mjtsai.com

Michael Tsai has a good roundup of commentary about Apple’s post-WWDC media spin, adding:

I’ll just repeat that I have almost no interest in the next-generation Siri features. I just want Apple to make the basic stuff — announced back when Steve Jobs was still alive — fast and reliable. Apple never seems to talk about this, and nobody asks them.

I would also like to know if the revised Siri architecture will be able to handle common basic tasks, or if that will take yet another fifteen years and a couple redesigns. It will be extremely funny if I can soon ask Siri when my mom’s flight arrives and it is able to find the information buried in some email or iMessage, but it still unable to stop the only active timer.
