The forum post you linked doesn't even demonstrate what you claim, since users just a few posts in were showing Siri giving the correct answers. Testing just now, Siri still gives the correct answers.
I think it was actually demonstrating a different problem: Siri's inconsistency of answers. Sometimes you will ask Siri a thing, and it will get it right. Other times, the exact same query will give something totally different (and totally wrong).
Anecdotally, I've encountered this issue less and less over the year. IMO the public has a brain worm regarding Siri's badness that doesn't really match reality. I'm guilty of the same thing—and yet I constantly see people using Siri for things I would have bet money it couldn't do, successfully. Just recently I asked it a followup question, and it worked perfectly. I didn't think Siri could do that. I was stuck in ChatGPT mentality, or I wouldn't have even tried.
I am not claiming Siri is perfect. I am not claiming it's as good as anyone else (largely because I haven't tried the other voice assistants in a long time). I'm not even saying it's particularly good, let alone "good enough". Apple has dropped the ball, no question.
However, I am saying it's better than online sentiment would have you believe.
