a new community created to share, read, and comment on the often strange “bedtime stories” that Siri’s new AI capabilities create.
come visit us at !siristories@lemmy.world and share your Siri Stories!
It’s not yet available, even in beta, right?
This seems to work, even on my 14 Pro.
Are you talking about asking Siri about bedtime stories? Because that has been a thing for a while. Apple said that AI stuff was coming later this summer with a waitlist, so none of the new stuff should be there yet.
How are you generating stories with Apple Intelligence? When I ask Siri to “tell me story,” Siri pulls from a small library of canned stories. They’re the same on iOS 17 and 18. They’re not generative and I can’t say “tell me a story about dinosaurs who where top hats.”
I’m a little off-put by how aggressive you’re being, but let’s consider what you’ve said:
Siri pulls from a small library of canned stories.
I’d appreciate a citation. Although, since this seems weird to prove without an official statement AND because Apple might just try this— I’ll consider a preponderance of evidence in lieu of some academic (or journalistic) study in the matter. It had better be good.
I also am very much aware of 2 important things re: your argument:
- I am able to produce the stories from Siri prompts on my iPhone 14 Pro (running iOS 18 DB1), a device that has been listed, even before the iOS 18 announcement, as not being able to support any of the AI features.
- I never summoned a “bedtime story” before, but I find them eminently amusing. I still think that weird and good ones should be posted here. I will adjust the requirements for the Community accordingly.
- Even if you are correct in everything you said, the point of this community is for people who enjoy these stories to share them and enjoy them. Regardless of a few technical inaccuracies on my part, Don don’t yuck our Yum. Thx
PS: if you wish to (and for those also reading this) — I encourage everyone to share your weird and funny generated stories anyway. If Apple intelligence is able to make these stories better in the future, all the better. Please share those as well!
It wasn’t my intention to come across as aggressive. Not trying to pick a fight here.
I’m honestly just curious about how some gen AI features are showing for you. If you are able to access them, I would love to reproduce what you did so that I could fiddle with the AI as well. I’m seeing the same bedtime stories on my iOS 17 / 18 devices and my Ventura Mac.
When ask iOS 18 Siri to tell me a story, I get the same handful of stories over and over. Mouse college friends, a spider with the spindly legs, ground squirrels, etc. 🤷♂️
I’m not sure what to tell you other than: don’t yuk other peoples’ yum.
If you don’t like it, move on. That just means this place isn’t for you. It does not mean that it’s for you to judge.
