I find that Siri AI cannot really do anything that I need, which is my major problem. I was truly hoping for Shortcuts to be a bit more beefed up with the introduction of Siri AI. For example, I was hoping that Siri AI could fix some of my annoyances like dismissing all notification banners. Of course, Siri AI cannot see nor work with notifications, so that's a huge bummer.
For normies, it might be nice to be able to add n > 1 reminders or calendar events, fix some grammatical errors, or whatever, but that's not particularly useful for me. I was hoping for a bit more of an AI that is truly integrated with the OS. Meanwhile, I feel like it's the worst model Gemini has to offer.

I don't know if I'll ever upgrade to Golden Gate, and this blog post isn't giving me confidence.

"Please play this song on my HomePod". "Now playing"
Prolonged silence.
"Nothing is playing?"
"Now playing" (but on my iPhone, not my HomePod)
I should be writing these down, because pretty much every interaction ends in disappointment.
Feels like it's just as mediocre as old Siri, only more ambitious when it fails, and slower.
