Apple exec touts "the Siri we always wanted", devs call it still dogshit

At an investor Q&A, WSJ's Joanna Stern asked about Apple's consumer AI agent progress. Hardware chief John Ternus said "with Siri AI, we really have the kind of Siri that we always wanted," citing a modern orchestration-driven architecture that's primarily request-based today but leaves room for agentic capabilities — with security and privacy safeguards as a stated priority. Developer Peter Steinberger (signal-boosted by snellingio) fired back: "I am once again absolutely convinced no Apple executive actually uses Siri. It shocks me how dogshit it still is" — highlighting the gap between Apple's narrative and real-world experience.
