They should have changed the name as per branding. I hear Siri, I subconsciously associate it with really bad software.

Hey if they could turn Apple Maps around, why not Siri?

I hear Apple and I associate with it with laughable AI integration, an unserious UI, and buggy software.

Apple’s entire software stack has a branding problem.

This sounds like a take that you'd probably only find on HN though. It seems dubious that regular Apple users see any issues with the software stack or with Siri, certainly not to the point that it'd be a branding problem for Apple.

Next time you're speaking to a close non-techie friend or family member feel free to ask them how often/whether they ever use Siri, and then ask them why not, and you'll realise that no, this isn't some HN-specific peculiarity.

I don't have to wait for a next time: my mother uses Siri literally all the time, it drives me crazy lol

I think it is tbh
