Honestly, which of us hasn’t already got workflows to use the individual tools to achieve things we want? We trust the results because we watch the steps. But to use a sexed up Siri to piece together context by going into all our apps introduces a realm of uncertainty for actions that I, for one, would want to cross check. And if I have to cross check then I might as well have done what I want in the time honoured way. I want my devices to help me, yes, but not take over and get things wrong.

Christine Burns MBE 🏳️⚧️📚⧖ (christineburns@mastodon.green)'s status on Tuesday, 11-Jun-2024 19:53:26 JST Christine Burns MBE 🏳️⚧️📚⧖ I’m a technology geek. I’m sure everyone knows that. First degree in Computer Science 50 years ago. Masters the year after. That was my profession for nearly 30 years, during which time I evangelised lots of new and exciting stuff. But I watched Apple’s WWDC announcements for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, MacOS etc… and my heart sank. Apple are now bloating the tech with stuff we weren’t asking for, at the cost of making it harder to understand. These are the first updates I’ll resist installing.
