It's just useless for me now, the change happened some 5 or so years ago.
"Hey Siri, play [song]"
Leads to, take your pick:
- "You'll need to unlock your iPhone first."
- "I couldn't find [song] on Podcasts" (??????)
- "Playing [a totally different song]"
- "I couldn't find any music by [song, but it thinks it's a band]"
- "Playing music by [song, again it thinks it's a band]"
Yes!! I get all of those. My favorite is that 10% of the time it asks me on what app I want to play the music (Oh, Apple, you're suddenly deeply respectful of competing on an equal playing field?).
And don't forget whatever the current phrasing is for "I'm sorry, my shit's all fucked up" and "My network connectivity had a blip and I'm unwilling to retry" and "Even though I have on-device STT models, and now LLMs too, and an on-device database of your music, which is downloaded, I won't bother without the cloud.
