Sometimes they work great and sometimes.. not so great. They definitely need some work.

I haven’t found them particularly useful but I also don’t get bombarded with notifications.

This simply means they do not work.

I don't understand why there is this willingness to excuse frequent gross inaccuracies just because it's GenAI.

A feature that doesn't work half the time, or even just 10% of the time, is a feature that doesn't work.

Not GenAI, but Apple. If this was Google there would have been 5 front page HN stories a day with everyone dragging them through the mud.

This is the issue of any Alexa/voice assistant. Ive had enough errors to make even bothering to use them pointless. And it's made worse by the fact that identical voice commands can be interpreted differently at a later date.
