Apple made Siri uncool: Wozniak

No stranger to making controversial comments about the company he co-founded, Steve Wozniak has laid the verbal smackdown on Apple again, this time talking about the personal voice assistant, Siri.

Wozniak admitted to the Times Union that he liked Siri a lot better before Apple purchased it in 2010.

“I start telling everyone I knew and speaking around the world about how this was the future of computing, speaking [with] things in normal ways, feeling like you’re talking to a human,” said Wozniak, describing the original program.

As an example, Wozniak said that he used to be able to have Siri list prime numbers greater than 87; however, when he asks Siri to do that now, it thinks he is talking about prime ribs.

Wozniak has previously noted how Android and Windows Phone do many things better than Apple’s own iOS operating system.
