Wolfram Alpha has very much the same effect as Siri for me. Often I'll remember it exists and I will think to give it another try. But whenever I try it I get frustrated since it seems to fail on whatever I decided to attempt in that moment. It is maybe just unlucky but it is my experience. I am certain there are millions of things it can do, but for some reason the one thing I try on it always seems to fail.
On the other hand, ChatGPT does seem to give me good results the majority of the time. It certainly fails or hallucinates and I always feel I have to double check it, However, it just feels more reliable as a first stop compared to Siri or Wolfram.
I don't want to have to think "is this a query Siri can handle?" or "will Wolfram Alpha manage to work for this query?" - I just want to get a pretty good answer quickly with no hassle.
