Cortana is Microsoft’s virtual assistant, which was introduced in 2014 back when Windows Phone was still a thing. Similar to…
This is so stupid.
Im an avid siri user, yeah it doesnt get it right all the time but its super useful for homekit and helpful in the kitchen. I couldn’t imagine them just abandoning it without introducing an alternative.
Didn’t know that Cortana is dead, although it won’t be missed. Siri, OTOH, is extremely useful, and I could not disagree with this writer more.
This is such a lazy, dumb take. Nobody even complains about Cortana because nobody used it in the first place. People complain about Siri precisely because so many people are using is so often that they inevitably come up against its shortcomings. It can certainly continue to grow and evolve but it’s a real-world useful tool today.
It absolutely should not. I don’t use Siri at all, but some folks, like this guy, quite honestly depend on Siri to live their lives. It’s a fabulous disability aid.

Good riddance. I can’t stand voice assistants. Obviously they’re useful for some folks but if I don’t want to use them they shouldn’t be running on my system at all. I don’t want Bixby, I don’t want Xbox Gamebar, I don’t want Ok Google, I don’t want Edge… it’s just endlessly tedious that these companies push an update through and dark pattern their way into getting it running on your system or straight up don’t ask you.
