Siri, Claude and Karen walk into a bar. Nobody serves them because the robots.txt forbade it.

I am deeply upset every time the HomePod in another room decides to attempt to answer my query instead of the phone that’s in my hands, which then has to ask who is speaking, and has a 50:50 chance of ultimately failing to do the task.

With how magical handoff / continuity / whatever it’s called is, it is baffling to me why Apple allows the HomePod to so aggressively take over requests when it sucks so, so much at it.
