I have a pretty good grasp on Siri commands and it's still _terrible_. Here are a few from the past few weeks:
“Siri, drive to <regional grocery chain 20 minutes away>” → “Now driving to <regional grocery chain 2 hours away>.”
“Siri, send <name> a message on <popular messaging app>.” → One of _two_ responses (seems random): “Sorry, I can't do that while you're in the car” OR “What would you like to say to <name>?”
“Siri, play '<song in my Apple Music library by an artist I play every week>'.” → “Now playing <some song I've never heard of by an artist I've never played>.”
“Siri, remind me when I get home to <task>.” → “Sorry, I don't have your address.” (My contact information, with complete address, is in my Apple Contacts, and set as my card.)
The list goes on. It's actually become somewhat of a game for my wife whether Siri will actually complete a given request.
- seec 2y agoThat's pretty much my experience as well. Even something as dumb and simple as setting timers is getting messed up some times. To the point where I'm just considering buying a hardware multi-timer. I'm not sure how good Google is at this but it seems this sort of technology has hard limits anyway. It's already hard for humans to understand each other so I wonder if all of this isn't just a giant distraction and a big waste of time.
