That’s in this episode of the Macworld Podcast.\n\nThis is episode 987 with [Michael Simon](https://www.macworld.com/author/Michael-Simon/), [Jason Cross](https://www.macworld.com/author/Jason-Cross/), and [Roman Loyola](https://www.macworld.com/author/Roman-Loyola/).\n\nClick on the links below for more info on what was discussed on the show.\n\nWay better than alexas new trash ai voice\n\nFajitobonito via[TikTok]\n\nThe best thing is the ability to ditch the American voice\n\nAltruistic-Viking via[YouTube]\n\nMy main take out was Siri for really lazy fuckers who have no idea – hey ask Siri AI! Literally no features that benefit someone who is not a moron. And then I saw that no photo is ever going to be true again–siri AI thank you. why give a shit! And for this the world burns – one, yes, one data centre for Anthropic they are tryin to pitch is the equivalent of all households in Australia’s energy draw. Hope that finds you perfetct (false) angle on your photo. Canuting all the way\n\nDom L. via email\n\nYou can subscribe to the Macworld Podcast—or leave us a review!—[right here in the Podcasts app](https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id563933198).
