IMO there has been something rotten in the Siri house for 7+ years. It was bad even back then compared to competitors like alexa or google on a pure voice assistant basis. Open-ish models like Whisper translated speech to text far better for years, with local models, and they just sit on their worse software anyway. The hardware for their microphones is phenomenal too, which makes it an extra worse shame.
