I have a HomePod and we're getting increasingly good at pronouncing French and Dutch artists with the accent of someone with no conception of foreign languages in order to get Siri to play them, e.g. "Gene Ferret" for Jean Ferrat. Apple Maps will happily butcher Dutch and French streetnames to the extent that we cannot recognize them at all. Siri will just make a random guess if it can't understand what I asked it to play. It's just so supremely awful at almost everything.
