    Am I the only one that’s never had any issue with Siri understanding me? The thing does what little I tell it to with no issues.

      No joke: if Siri doesn’t understand me, I often reiterate the question/request with the preface “Siri, you fat bitch, …”.

      “Siri, you fat bitch, play Headhunters by Herbie Hancock!”. It works.

      “what little I tell it” may be the key to your success. If you’ve only ever set timers and asked it the temperature in Cupertino, you probably think it’s great.

      I’ve attempted far more than this. Things that Google search can answer with it’s top result. Things that other voice assistants can do. Things that seem mechanistic to me like “what time will United Flight 1201 from Phoenix to San Francisco arrive?” And it can’t do it. Just returns web results.

      Never once has Siri pleasantly surprised me with its answer. Many many times it has disappointed me, even with low expectations.
