Apple AI & Siri, Bugs to Report
I'd like to kindly report some bugs I've discovered with Apple AI's Siri on macOS 15.3.
This is based on my usage just as of today, on the latest update.
These bugs are in no particular order.
1. Chat (typing) box doesn't expand as chat exceeds size:
If you click on the new Siri, an animated chat-text bar opens up. This bar expands somewhat as the chat increases, but appears to reach a limit, after which the user's chat, query, prompt, etc. will simply fall out of view, as the chat box/window doesn't continue to increase.
2. Clicking off or away from the box will erase or eliminate the present convo:
Assuming you're in the middle of a query or prompt to Siri, but halfway through you click elsewhere, as to look up something or simply because something else came up. Now, when you return to Siri, that pending convo will be gone, and if you didn't start it yet (i.e. didn't enter it as a new convo but merely typed it), it will be gone and you'll have to redo it from scratch.
3. No easy or direct access to history:
In addition to the prior bug, it's also not possible to readily view or access your Siri history without recursing to your ChatGPT login. And if you don't have a ChatGPT login, it's likely that you won't have any history at all available.
4. Fails to consistently refer or recourse to ChatGPT whenever it can't answer:
Naturally, "old" Siri may be unable to answer things that "new" Siri can. But even if you have the "Confirm ChatGPT" request off (i.e., it doesn't require your consent in order to use it), Siri will sometimes fail to recourse to ChatGPT for an intelligent or proper answer to your question, instead simply saying "I don't understand," or giving some incorrect or not-useful "old" Siri-type answer.
5. Doesn't summarize search results:
Sometimes, a query or prompt will apparently result in Siri simply providing a list of corresponding search results. However, these results are not summarized, merely listed, meaning the user still has to click on each and search through them to determine if there is an answer to the question. Like Google's summarize feature, Siri should attempt to summarize the answer based on the search results, and provide the summary as paramount t the search results themselves (or in addition to).
6. Siri's pronunciation still somewhat robotic:
Unlike ChatGPT's voice models, Siri's still produces robotic-sounding or mispronounced enunciations of some words, seeming yet unnatural (although improved from "old" Siri).
These are the bugs I've discovered so far. I may update this post if I find more.
