Siri and Apple Intelligence mainly respond with "here's what I found on the web"
I know this has been raised many times in the past, but those were focused on how bad Siri is. I am now including Apple Intelligence in this question. (I've signed up for and enabled AI).
99% of the questions I ask of Siri/Apple Intelligence get "Here's what I found on the web". Even simple questions like "when is the next high tide in XYZ", "what is the current value of AUD to USD", or "who won the last Australian election" go nowhere. These are questions with a single simple answer likely able to be extracted from a simple web page.
Even when I ask these questions on my watch or Carplay, Siri/AI still gives me a set of web pages to look at.
After experimenting, I have only been able find a few extremely simple questions that get verbal responses, such as "what is the time" and "where am I". Most other questions go to a web search. Asking "where is the nearest <store name>" takes me to maps, from which it's difficult to extract an address on the watch/CarPlay. Asking Siri "Read out to me the address of the nearest <store name>" gets a text response with the address, but that I have to click and scroll to read when on the watch.
This is unchanged (or perhaps even worse) than a couple of years ago. I thought AI was supposed to be a big jump, but I'm not seeing any improvement in answering simple questions.
Is there a secret sauce to how to make Siri and Apple Intelligence actually useful? Thx.
