Yes Alan, Siri sucks. The more I use it more the issues I discover. The voice recognition errors are particularly annoying. So is the Apple Music issue he mentions. That one is so bad I gave up on the Music app after requesting a few songs within minutes of a free trial.

Yes, I did the voice training routine. Multiple times.

If you disagree go complain to the source, David Price.

Its well known to any who have used it that Siri is a POS.

Does anyone still use “voice assistants”? That seems like a fad that
ended 3 years ago.

The linked article is hilarious. The author does nothing but whine about
Siri, yet he continues to use it. Typical dumbass fan boy.

I’ve never used Siri, in fact its the first thing I turn off. Maybe Apple
“doesn’t care” because their data shows that very few people are still
trying to use it.
No company spends time improving a product that no one is using.

Siri is useful to me on a regular basis.

In the car:

"Hey Siri, get directions to..."

At home (when cooking):

"Hey Siri, set a timer for <n> minutes".

Etc.

Google doesn't do it better on an iPhone...

...and you've demonstrated that you lack even a basic clue about how to
use Siri, so your opinion hardly matters.

No Alan, you demonstrated that you have no clue that Siri on CarPlay does not work like Siri not on CarPlay. You also admitted that your car does not have CarPlay. Therefore, you do not use CarPlay on a daily basis like I do.

You also likely have limited experience using Google on iPhone. If you do use Google, why? Well, actually I guess you do use Google when you ask Siri a question. Apple uses Google Search as the default search engine.

The only reason that you might find Siri useful is it's the fact that you can't make Google the default and replace Siri. Same for Apple Maps. If you ask Siri for directions it's going to bring up Apple's maps. Unlike browser and email, you can't change the default map source.

And yet, YOU are the one who couldn't understand the obvious distinction
between speaking to Siri...

...a general purpose voice assistant that has to understand queries far
outside simply getting directions to a location...

...and tapping on a field to use voice recognition which is explicitly
EXPECTING to receive a location.

I use Siri in my car with regularity, Little Shit.

I don't use it in conjunction with CarPlay, but that makes no
difference, now does it?

Straw man, Little Shit.

I never said Siri was perfect.

What I actually said is that the "problems" you demonstrated were caused
by your misunderstanding (comparing what a general purpose voice
interface does with using voice within single purpose app such as Google
Maps)...

...or deliberate contrivance on your part.
