the things I want from "siri AI" that I'm not going to get:
- "here's how I pronounce this" so I can launch things like "Authy" with a voice command (try it)
- disable _all_ cloud interaction, even if it makes some things less reliable
- a reference sheet of commands so I can understand its capabilities
- explicit preference for "respond only to my voice"
- error handling in Shortcuts
none of these things involve an LLM, and attempting to cram LLMs into it makes most of them worse

and hey as long as I'm wish-casting for security features: "access while unlocked but only when using the microphone from my AirPods". every situation where i want to be able to run shortcuts on a locked device, I'm wearing headphones

@glyph@mastodon.social I’d trade body parts for error handling in Shortcuts that doesn’t involve me fucking around writing state flags to the filesystem and then testing if they exist.
