& Kagi (search company w/controversial CEO) sounds like they’re doing something right
Excerpt:
…Paul Kafasis…took it and pursued it thoroughly, asking Siri “Who won Super Bowl __?” for every number from 1 through 60.
His report at One Foot Tsunami documenting the results is utterly damning:
So, how did Siri do? With the absolute most charitable interpretation, Siri correctly provided the winner of just 20 of the 58 Super Bowls that have been played. That’s an absolutely abysmal 34% completion percentage. If Siri were a quarterback, it would be drummed out of the NFL.
Siri did once manage to get four years in a row correct (Super Bowls IX through XII), but only if we give it credit for providing the right answer for the wrong reason. More realistically, it thrice correctly answered three in a row (Super Bowls V through VII, XXXV through XXVII, and LVII through LIX). At its worst, it got an amazing 15 in a row wrong (Super Bowls XVII through XXXII). Most amusingly, it credited the Philadelphia Eagles with an astonishing 33 Super Bowl wins they haven’t earned, to go with the 1 they have.
Below, I’ve gathered a dozen of my favorite responses, in sequential order.
I only use siri to start timers while cooking, do quick math and conversions, and to text my wife that I’m on my way home while driving.
Yeah same here. I’m not sure if I’d use Siri more if it were better, but to be honest I don’t really need all these ChatGPT stuff. Just make Siri better at the basic stuff it can already do.
That‘s about the only things it can do accident free indeed.
