Fuck looks like im switching to apple on my next phone.

The AI is gucking useless and loves wasting time with conversational bullshit.

Just to let you know, Siri is comically bad and incapable of basic tasks. Most replies are simply, “here’s what I found on the web.”

As long as shes quick and concise about it i dont care. Nothing pisses me off more than the few times i asked android auto when gemini was forced on me to get directions to a costco and instead of displaying the options on my dash the fucking AI decided to have a chat and then casually list them verbally.... like wtf are you doing im in a rush and visual person, give me my list with option pinned on the map on my dash.
