Siri AI Not Working

Hi, thanks for your reply. I found out now that a proxy filter and/or management profile on my device is making the problem. For now, I managed to restore the iOS 26-style Siri which is fine with me.

It took 3 nights for me plugged into power and connected to Wifi, where it became available on the 4th day.

dcnewc ~ Not quite. There's also a need to say what model of iPhone you're using:

Settings > General > About > Model Name

And what version of iOS it's running:

Settings > General > About > iOS Version

I have truly never seen any AI as bad, where weeks in. Reading messages on CarPlay is a joke taking actions that hasn’t been told to, continually saying “something went wrong”. This feels like beta, not even beta, it feels like alpha …. I just read this which I spoke into Siri. It says everything I need to say

Excellent point. iPhone 17 Pro running iOS 27.0.1 and yes, I'm using Siri BETA, but it feels like an Alpha. And the way it's set up it's not through TestFlight. so.. Doesn't give me any way that I can see of saying what's wrong, hence massive frustration. I guess when we've got used to anything from ChatGPT to Wispr Flow, the experience with Siri is just so sub par it hurts.

You are not required to use it and can turn it off if you wish. If you liked classic Siri better, you can then turn it back on and choose Classic Siri instead of Siri AI.

For me Siri AI is far superior and I prefer that my data is not exposed like it is on the standalone ChatGPT app. We all have choices, so choose whatever you wish. If you like ChatGPT better, which I do not, then use that one or the ChatGPT extension on Siri.

ChatGPT is inadequate when it comes to simple things that require integration with your personal data on your device. That includes anything with your Reminders by simply asking Siri AI to remind you to purchase a book that you see on your screen or transcribing a photo of recipe into the Notes app while browsing the web and seeing a picture of Receipe you want.

No disagreement at all when it comes to how much ChatGPT can interact with my Apple devices, and privacy is a fair point. I have gone back to classic Siri, not because I'd prefer to, but because Siri AI simply isn't working. Particularly where I use it most, which is CarPlay.

I would very happily come back to Siri AI, but compared to its competition, it's lightyears behind. With a company as large, capable of putting a lot of money into research and development etc. as Apple, I find that unacceptable on any level. I'm very much an Apple fanboy, but this has put me over the edge as you can probably tell, thanks for the replies, though.

I don't have CarPlay, so that is one area I do not use Siri AI. In every aspect of using my device, Siri AI has been a welcomed improvement and I am honestly impressed with the implementation and how effective it is and able to accomplish tasks that were never possible before with Classic Siri, ChatGPT, or any of the other AI models. It is disappointing to hear that your experience with CarPlay is not achieving the same results.
