I have an iPhone 5c and I love Siri. Anyone who messes with her messes with me.

The new Siri sounds like Nurse Ratched.

I despise and hate everything Google, and was casting about, trying different alternatives. And now I am forced to use it at work.

I cannot express how painful and inefficient it is.

Of course, Siri has been great for me, but iOS11 broke my microphone, so I have some axe grinding to do. I use Siri constantly to set alarms, read messages, dictate, etc.

What do June Cleaver, Harriet Nelson, and Siri have in common?

They’re famous women who don’t work.

Siri is, and has always been useless.

I don’t know why, but I’ve never gotten much help from Siri and I don’t like “her” voice. I’ve started using Alexa for various compatible devices and I like “her” much better - she also understands my input better and sounds less mechanical in her response.

There could be many reasons. I’m a woman, and perhaps Siri understands male voices better? I don’t know.

Then again, maybe this is just a highly individual preference on the part of the user.

Siri, in contrast, didn’t fare all that well, with researchers finding that Apple’s AI checked in with an IQ of 23.9.

So about the same as an NFL wide receiver.

When the dust settled, researchers found that Google’s AI has an IQ of about 47.28, putting it slightly below the IQ of an average six-year old.

The average IQ of a six-year-old is 100, by definition.

And IQ of a six-year-old? This is so stupid. You can ask Google any stat on countries or mathematics, but see what it does if you ask it to invent a story about the gang from My Little Pony.

This makes sense -- Google and Alexa have access to much more volumes of data than Siri.

To have adequate Machine Learning you need petabytes of data.
