It makes me think of old text based adventure games where you type in "open door" or "draw gun". All these complex "A.I." based voice assistants still break down to the vocabulary problem. They try to solve the general case by not giving humans/customers the language spec.
There is probably more than just an AI that does speech to text and then a second phase interpreter. I suspect there is some AI in the first layer of Siri/OKGoogle/Alexa that uses context clues to narrow down what you're asking, but who knows for sure. It's a big black box.
Eventually it's like the 90s again where you type "Get ye flask" and you get a box saying, "You cannot get ye flask" and you're left playing Peasants Quest asking, "Why in the world can I not 'get ye flask?!'"
