Realme 14x Arrives in Malaysia: A Slightly Different Take

 Ouch. Siri just took a major fumble in a recent test of its Super Bowl knowledge. A test conducted by Paul Kafasis revealed some glaring inaccuracies in Apple's AI assistant, raising questions about its reliability compared to competitors like ChatGPT.

Siri's Super Bowl Struggles: A 34% Score

Kafasis put Siri to the test, asking it to name the winners of every Super Bowl from I to LX (60). The results? A disappointing 20 correct answers out of 58, a mere 34% accuracy rate. Siri's responses were often completely wrong or irrelevant, with one particularly embarrassing moment where it incorrectly named the Philadelphia Eagles as the winners of Super Bowl XXXIII (they've only won once).

A String of Errors and a ChatGPT Plug

Siri's performance was especially weak between Super Bowls XVII and XXXII, where it failed a staggering 15 times in a row. At one point, Siri even suggested users ask ChatGPT for the correct answers! This highlights a significant gap in knowledge compared to other AI systems.

How Siri Stacks Up Against the Competition

John Gruber of Daring Fireball compared Siri's performance to other platforms, including Google, ChatGPT, and DuckDuckGo. These competitors consistently provided accurate answers. Gruber also pointed out that older versions of Siri at least provided links to reliable sources, a feature that's now missing, making Siri's mistakes even less forgivable.

"Confidently Wrong" Answers: A Problem of Trust

Gruber criticized Siri for giving "confidently wrong" answers. This is a crucial issue, as these responses sound plausible but are incorrect, potentially misleading users and damaging trust in the AI assistant.
