I mainly use it in two ways (in order of usage):
1. To set reminders and timers,
2. To find quick answers, ie. I actually _just_ used it to find out what time sunset is and it answered fine. I might sometimes ask it a bit more complex things like "What time is the GSW game on tonight?", but anything research-related or more challenging questions, I leave to Google.
My biggest gripe with this whole voice assistant thing is is, when I think of a query, I usually _want_ to Google it because I enjoy going to Wikipedia (or some related article) and reading about it myself, picking out the sections I find interesting and reading about them, which sometimes leads me deeper into other areas of interest. I don't find that joy when an AI tells me what I want to hear. That's my biggest limitation to using these things. That and Siri never understanding me.
