"Hey siri, play <search term>" "I didn't get that." "Hey siri, play <search term>" "Got it, playing <similar-sounding search term>" "Hey siri, stop" "Hey siri, play <search term (enunciating slowly)>" "Got it, playing <similar-sounding search term>" "Hey siri, stop" <opens app on phone and manually types in the correct search term> --- "Hey siri, <a search term more complicated than one short sentence with a clear answer>" "Sorry, I'm not able to show that. <opens web browser with term>" --- We do not have AI, unless you mean in the loosest possible meaning. Everything is still dumb as rocks, we just have made voice recognition a convenience. Parsing sound into a search term and dumb-ly searching is still dumb. It's not AI just because I'm not manually typing it in. Every system I've asked questions has failed on anything that's not fairly simple. Taking sounds and mapping that to a google search or a particular app is not AI. It's some engineer who decided that questions with a similarity to X or Y can be answered with Z app. (i.e. questions about the weather) Siri and others are still dumb as rocks.

Having used all three of Alexa, 'Ok Google', and Siri, I'd have to say Siri is the worst of the three. It's extremely far behind the the other two. Try your voice searches with Google and it's very likely you'll get what you want.

  Regardless of the brand, it's still not intelligent in any meaningful way. The capability of alexa/siri/whatever directly corresponds to whether or not some programmer implemented a match statement on that particular kind of question. Alex/siri are still just dumb tools, with voice recognition as a facade. That's not AI.
