- According to a recent experiment, Siri has gotten less accurate on iOS 18.
- When asked about past Super Bowl results, Apple’s digital assistant answered only 34% of the questions properly.
- Siri will reportedly receive a ChatGPT-like upgrade with iOS 19, so its responses may become more reliable next year.
It’s no secret that Siri is not super conversational or helpful, especially compared to Google Gemini and ChatGPT. Apple’s digital assistant has long struggled to deliver meaningful results and often fails at basic tasks. With iOS 18, the problem has seemingly gotten worse, as when you ask Siri about Super Bowl winners, it answers incorrectly most of the time.
One Foot Tsunami discovered some Sirious issues with the iPhone’s virtual assistant on iOS 18 when asking about the Super Bowl. On earlier OS versions, Siri often linked to web results when it didn’t know how to answer a certain question. Now, the assistant repeatedly provides misinformation, at least when handling sports-related queries.
