In practice it rarely uses ChatGPT. And even when it does, it doesn’t work properly.

Eg. The other day I had a birthday invitation for a kids party sent to me as a jpg. I figure, I’ll ask Siri to add it to my calendar. After a lot of persuasion I manage to get it to send it to ChatGPT to process it (which makes no sense since even the photos app can read text in an image).

But anyway, it sends it to ChatGPT. Which replies by reading out the contents of the image including all the day and time and location. And that’s it. No action from Siri.

So I follow up with ‘so can you add it to my calendar now?’ Siri replies “what would you like to me add to your calendar?”

That was 5 minutes of my life I won’t get back…
