alt Hacker Newsi wonder how many of them are like 100% of my requests?
- "set a timer for 14 minutes"
- "remind me to make a doctor's appointment tomorrow at noon"
- "turn off the bedroom lights"
that don't require any form of AI and have functioned perfectly well (aside from having a hard time when i mumble) for years on non-AI versions of Siri?

This matches my use cases. Poor speech to text recognition so I don't trust siri to do anything non-trivial

Siri was always AI, but the popular connotation of "AI" changes all the time. It now means "LLMs built with transformers."
I suspect even some of the more "advanced" queries they demoed off, i.e., "what was that restaurant John and I talked about last week?" also not require LLMs whatsoever and could have been accomplished with a simple search.
