It's outdated and does nothing helpful really. There's a ton of other AI providers that offer more powerful features. The AI integration in Google devices is miles ahead of Siri. This has always been the case. iOS and macOS have terrible Siri features. I've been a believer in Apple for a really long time. I've been using Siri even before Apple acquired them. I've used it for long enough and this year has been the final nail in the coffin. I give up. I can't wait for Apple to "finally" make it better. It's not happening.

I have only 1 line in my CLAUDE.md file and that is "Always ground your responses." and that's it.

Claude didn't care about it. When I pointed that out, it was apologetic and that was it.

This seems like a strategy.
