My new favorite Siri/HomePod interaction just happened šŸ˜›

ā€œHey Siri pauseā€

-HomePod lowers music volume to speak-

ā€œThere's nothing playingā€

-increases music volume back up-

@christianselig we haven’t had internet at our new house for a couple months now and it makes it blindingly obvious which devices perform speech to text locally, and which need the internet. ā€œHey Siri stop.ā€
ā€œJust a sec… still working on it… I’m having trouble connecting to the internet.ā€ And then just goes back to playing music.
@mattcomi Yeah, more on-device stuff would be really cool, even if it was just for the simpler stuff
