You’re mad that Siri was asked to find a recipe in an email and add its items to a grocery list?
That doesn’t sound like a cultural divide issue.

I went to see the video expecting to agree with you, but actually I agree with the parent poster.
The video comes off as she doesn't care about her mom, or the recipe, or cooking, and the person doesn't even know what a peach is. The tone in which she says "what did mom mention...", as if she's clearly distracted thinking about something else, probably her busy NY job, and just have AI deal with this annoyance of family as fast as possible... plus she needs AI to read the email and tell her which peaches to get? I dunno, read the email and interpret it yourself, you probably know your mom better than Siri? And call your mom in case of doubt? Maybe I'm too Spanish... but it felt quite dystopian...
All of these AI demos have the same vibe "You'll save so much time now AI can reword your mum's text messages". I don't know what these SV guys are doing, but writing shopping lists, talking to my friends, or booking a haircut doesn't take me very much time at all.
What I want is an AI that detects I'm scrolling social media and closes the app. That would save me many hours a week vs trying to save 30 seconds on reserving a table for dinner.
Who wants to spend time with family, cooking, taking care of self, when there are the shareholders, who need bigger yachts? Seriously, you guys are so out of touch... Why care for any of these, when we are loosing the AI race, and maybe it won't be "our" (employer's, or even favorite product manufacturer's) AI obliterating human race, but a competitors? /s
What did you expect on this SV VC funded site? There is a serious selection bias here, and in all SV.
This is actually how it works in silicon variety. Tech workers are expected to give 100% to the company, families and other matter like a kid are seen as “disturbance”.
This reminds me so much of the movie Her, where the main character’s job is to write heartfelt letters to people’s friends, family, even lovers, that they can’t be bothered to write themselves.
