Apple is going down the same path as Microsoft only at a slower pace and a decade behind. I fear they will turn OSX into something like Win 11 but with slightly better design in the next decade.

I also realized that I still call it OSX even though it is macOS nowadays.

Ever since Snow Leopard it's been downhill

Apple Intelligence and even more so Siri isnt worth the disk space. Regular user of chatGPT's Voice/Conversational AI (while driving) and comparably the new Siri is training wheels Voice AI. You can not have a seamless, back and forth conversation with it, so I wont call it Conversational AI.

Now you may ask who talks to AI? Well this dork does in time I bet more will. Especially, for giving me directions like "That new sub shop is across the street from your favorite McDonalds." No need to fiddle with a phone or look at a screen just drive to a familiar place. I believe talking to AI is safer while driving then us on our phones or messing with screens.

I've been driving for some decades, and probably still have some decades remaining, and these are just never scenarios I've needed, or will ever need. When I get in my car, if I don't know how to get to my destination, I set it on my nav, and then I drive there. My phone stays in my pocket. I never need to use my phone or mess with my screen to find some unknown destination mid-trip.

That's cool everyone is different and I have used my phone in my car since my first iPhone for streaming music and following Google map directions. Now personally myself I dont have to look at my phone as I am now just talking something similar to another person in the car - one who knows it all.

Sure, but that's not a need. There was never a need to fiddle on your phone while driving.

Well, they had some Windows Vista inspiration for the last UI revamp.

macos seems weird anyway.
