Frankly, Mark, it seems to me that they’ve all gotten stupider recently, so-called AI not withstanding. I mean really. Alexa is worthless for sports. You get all kinds of crap from that. Google Assistant well not so much. But when I can’t get Siri to open an app on my phone without a big fat hassle, that just takes the cake. Open Watch. Which watch app do you want Hulu or YouTube or Watch? Well G. I said watch app. I didn’t say anything about Hulu or YouTube. This crap is just ridiculous. Any assistant on a phone should be smart enough to know when you’re asking it to open an app that you have on your phone. Samsung phones have no problem with this. It’s just ridiculous.
