Apple really dropped the ball with Siri. It feels like the upgrade to iOS 7 made Siri slightly worse, and I was hoping for much, much better. The key use for me is responding to texts or making phone calls while driving. Being able to say "Call home" is really great, but the really annoying thing is that it I can't appear to force it to use speakerphone. Why is such a small feature unavailable to me? Also, the response time for Siri is extremely slow, and the responses are far too verbose. I wish you could do things like adjust the speaking speed, etc. The other thing is Apple should have allowed people to integrate their apps with Siri, but it doesn't seem like it's possible. I would love to launch some apps verbally, but Siri isn't useful enough to do that. Sure, it's clever enough to figure out "I'm locked out of my house" to mean call a locksmith, like the ad shows, but other than what I mentioned above, and setting timers and alarms verbally, it has become almost complete useless to me.
