My new favorite Siri/HomePod interaction just happened 😛

“Hey Siri pause”

-HomePod lowers music volume to speak-

“There's nothing playing”

-increases music volume back up-

@christianselig @stroughtonsmith Siri is the dumbest thing in the world. It will do the oddest things. When you use your phone and you *see* the correct speech to text, and then it… hallucinates something bat shit.

Me: Siri, set the kitchen shades to 20%
Text: [the above]
Siri: playing smooth jazz in the living room!

The fuq.

@grork @christianselig @stroughtonsmith that's not hallucinating, it's just opinionated Apple design and knowing customers better than they know themselves :P

Like when they "knew" that everyone needed more U2 in their lives
