  • Apple is already being weirdly criticized for an AI effort that hasn't launched yet

    So, as a 'civilian' consumer - who has owned almost every Apple product since the Mac Plus - I feel fine criticizing them when they underperform (AI, ML, or whatever broken tech runs Siri), or make bad decisions (see developer relations).

    Apple is so far behind in this space, it's no wonder they had to punt with a Google deal.

    Just today, I did a voice search within the tvOS Apple Music app. The most unambiguous name. There is only one.... and yet instead of a "it just works" 'intuitive' result, I get wildly incorrect search results. Sure, there's a box showing exactly what I said in quotes, but it requires me to use the finicky touchpad on the remote to complete a few more clicks. THEY CAN"T SEARCH  THEIR OWN CONTENT LIBRARY!

    For what it’s worth, I couldn’t reproduce that in tvOS 17.4. I get the expected search results.

    Or, rather, I could reproduce those search results (Top Hits and the suggested searches, as shown in your photo) by backspacing over “ank Zappa” — leaving just “Fr” …

    So I don’t know why, but it’s not showing you the search results for Frank Zappa in Apple Music, it’s showing you the search results for “Fr” in Apple Music.

  • iOS 17 is probably hitting your battery hard today -- but that's expected

    On a side note - i’ve lost about 9 to 10 Gb of storage on my phone since the update..  Will any temp or dormant install files for the OS be purged?  
    I lost at least 20-25GB of space after the update!
