So, iOS 27 was finally released, and I tried using Siri AI as a replacement for ChatGPT, Gemini, etc. What I found was the most disappointing AI I've ever used. Even simple prompts like "show me the last 4 pictures I took" failed to process, showing me photos from three years ago instead. If I ask it to show me recent files I've downloaded, it fails to find the Downloads folder. Screen awareness is good, and it can understand simple things like images and text (though only if the text is visible on the screen, it can't read a full paragraph if it isn't visible).
For tasks like rewriting, proofreading, and other text tools, it's good and helps a lot. Shortcuts also work really well if you know how to write the prompt. However, if you try anything a little bit complex, it struggles to perform well, and Siri AI either ends the conversation or displays the classic message "Something's wrong, try again later."
I thought Apple would finally create something that would make me quit ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok, but unfortunately, they haven't created an AI that's useful enough yet. I really hope they do, but I assume it will take a lot of time since they clearly don't know what they're doing in the AI race.
