    The part that kills me is that Siri was (effectively) first. They had probably 2 years’ lead on everyone else. Somehow they squandered that - pretty quickly - fell behind, and in some ways got WORSE. And it’s been 12 years.

      The one thing Siri has above all else is being local where possible. Personally I thought one of the biggest announcements from last month’s Apple event was that the new watch is powerful enough to do voice processing locally.

      Of course that also may be one of the reasons Siri lags the cloud voice assistants

        That does sound good.

        It would be nice for all these things to be a lot more local. At least local control things should be able to be done without a cloud service.
