You’d be forgiven for thinking this day would never come. Siri has spent a decade and half somewhere between “sort of useful at a few things” and “utterly disastrous, why did I even try, can it honestly not even set a timer.” But the wildest thing just happened: Apple put out a new version of Siri, and it actually seems to be pretty good.

On this episode of The Vergecast, David and Nilay talk about their early experiences with Siri AI, and what it means for users, and the rest of the AI industry, for the iPhone’s built-in assistant to be good enough at most things. There’s very little about Siri AI that feels bleeding edge or brand new, but it works. And that might change everything.
