> “Apple spent billions of dollars on Siri and worked on it for a very long time with hundreds of engineers and a huge dataset of voices – and it’s f–ing idiotic. Siri is nearly useless,” he says. Apple declined comment.
He doesn't yet have a solution and what he does is talk trash about an actual product that does exist and for many people, does work as expected for their own needs.
Right, all he did was lose creditability for me. It makes me think he's using Apple's name to hype his nonexistent bullshit up.
Show us your solution or STFU.
I was talking with a San Francisco teacher last week who was telling me about all the different partnerships her school has done with startups, and how they all had 2 things in common: they only added more work for the teachers without providing much benefits, and they thought they knew better than anyone.
Nothing to see here. To quote Torvalds, "talk is cheap, show me the code".
He betrays how ignorant he is about Siri, or manipulative if its all a ruse for the press. Slack is a simple text chat application! The hubris!
