These new conversational LLMs like ChatGPT are just highlighting how hilariously bad current-gen "assistants" are.

I was just listening to some music and the lyrics mentioned the name of a street. I was trying to remember which city it's in so I asked Siri - seems like a basic trivia question it should be able to just give me the answer to. It went "I found some web results, please ask again from your iPhone so I can show them to you" 🀣🀦

That's most likely because Siri's main function is not to give you any real assistance but to collect as much information about you as possible. They just make sure it performs at the most basic, cheapest level that still keeps you interested in feeding it information.
