Let's talk about Siri AI's web search and App Intents index. I'm asking for the latest single by Phoebe Bridgers. A text search works, and brings up web sources. If I'm asking to * play* it, Siri actually plays a song from years ago. Why? Is Siri AI technically incapable of parallel tool calling (web search ⇾ App Intents ⇾ action is executed)? This wouldn't be a surprise for something distilled from Gemini (which sucks at tools.) I remain skeptical of Apple's indexing approach. We'll see.

Here's another example of typical Gemini behavior appearing in Siri AI: Siri starts giving a wrong response, changes its mind, continues paragraph with a different (and correct) response. (I've seen Gemini Flash models do this all the time.) (Sonnet 5 Medium on the right.)
