Siri appears to be even dumber / lazier / what?

Hey Siri. What are the weather conditions outside?

No sound. No speech. Just a dumb little widget like pop up that tells me very little.
sigh….. This is on the iPad. On the iPhone it flashed and did nada. Working on that issue….

When I asked, “Hey Siri, what’s the weather like outside?”, it responded verbally with “it’s currently clear with 84 degrees”.

When I asked, “Hey Siri what are the weather conditions outside?” The response was exactly the same as above.

For what it’s worth I’ve been sticking to updating via IPSW more recently which doesn’t seem to need as much settling in afterward but perhaps that’s simply superstition.

Oh I’m with you. I install directly via ipsw for every major update. It may not be right away, but definitely within a day or two, and I’ve been doing that for years. I’m one of the people who run beta builds year round.

It’s waaay too early to speak of battery life differences. It’s day 1 of a beta 1 with some very energy hungry new functionality. Give it 2-3 days and then see.

With all due respect, I run beta builds year round and have been for at least 10 years. What I experienced the other day was not the norm for ‘me’. After about 15 minutes, the issue resolved itself.

With all due respect I ALSO run betas year round. And I can tell you that asking about battery life in the first few hours after release of what is likely the most ambitious beta Apple has ever shipped from a resource and power consumption standpoint is not sensible. There is no baseline for what the phone is doing with 18.2, so all of our collective prior experiences are not worth much here.

There is definitely something up with the approvals into Image Playgrounds etc...

I updated 2 M series MacBook Pros, an m4 iPad Pro and a 16 Pro Max. One of the Macs has been accepted into the Image Creation beta. I can open Image Playgrounds and make images. Those images sync to the other devices, but on all the rest it still says "Access Requested" You cant edit or create them on those devices. All 4 devices are signed into the same developer Apple Account.

So odd....but then again so has the entire 18.x beta cycle LOL

maybe its a limited beta and they are selecting based on devices? and not everyone will get at start

Not really a bug, but damn does my 15 pro get toasty when asking chatGPT to generate images. Could fry an egg on this thing.

If I had to guess: they are stress testing either their waiting list system or the Private Cloud Compute infrastructure and are scaling up.

Of course, as someone pointed out above, it may simply be a glitch like we had during the 18.1 betas with the infinite asset downloading issue.

Agreed. I'm not worried about battery life at this point. I've been running iOS betas all year round since the beta program started. It's way too soon to assess battery life.

Maybe it's a sign out of AppleAI and sign back insort of thing

Its not based off of devices. As the new devices came online on 15.2 or 18.2 the option for Image Creation was already set to "requested access". I requested access on the iPhone as that was the first to be updated.
