No Memory, No AI: Siri AI Is Bullshit
I tried the new Siri AI with a very simple real-life task, and honestly, this is exactly why I don’t buy Apple’s “Siri will know you better” marketing yet.
I was watching an Instagram Reel about a beautiful place I might want to visit. I asked Siri to create a note and put the link from the video into it.
First problem: it didn’t include the link. Maybe Siri currently can’t pull a link directly from Instagram. Fine, I can forgive that.
But the bigger problem is much worse: Siri has no idea how my Notes are organized.
It just created a random note in the default Notes folder. It didn’t understand that I already have folders for different things: places I want to visit, car issues, shopping lists, personal logs, projects, etc. Unless I say the exact folder name perfectly every single time, Siri does not understand where the note belongs.
And that’s the real issue: Siri has no useful memory.
It doesn’t know what folders I have. It doesn’t learn where I usually save certain types of notes. It doesn’t understand that “beautiful place to visit” should probably go into my travel/places folder. It just performs a basic command like an old voice assistant.
So when Apple says Siri will “know you better,” I’m sorry, but right now that feels like bullshit.
A real AI assistant needs memory. Without memory, it’s not really an assistant. It’s just a voice command tool with a nicer animation.
