The only way Siri will meaningfully save my time would be if it could doomscroll for me. All of the things Siri claims to automate here would save me maybe a couple of minutes total over a week, wouldn't make the tiniest dent in my screen time.

I don't understand. Are you so little in control of your own self that you now need an embedded AI to do something for you that was already a complete waste of time and energy? Just delete the apps.

The point I was trying to make was that consumer AI on mobile devices won't save people time in any significant way because people don't spend a lot of time on their phone doing things that are automatable. Everything mentioned here is a tiny portion of people's phone use compared to things like doomscrolling, video calls etc. So there is no real value to any of these tools.
