macOS Golden Gate Is a Buggy Mess

    I have been avoiding new macOS versions since I tried Tahoe and hated it. Still on Sequoia.

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

      There is no benefit for upgrading from Sequoia to Golden Gate. UI isn't better looking or faster. Siri AI is not great. More bugs, not less.

        Siri AI is pretty darn good for me. What are your problems with it?

          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.
