If it would actually search the web when I ask questions it isn’t programmed to know
If I didn’t have to repeat myself 20 times despite teaching it my voice and being 1 foot away from the phone.
Siri is basically a fancy timer setter for me, and even then I use Alexa if I’m in my house because it can do things like “add an extra minute to my timer.”
Actually dial who i Siri to dial and not bother my head of devops at 3am instead of my partner. Similarly sounding first names but very distinct surnames, i use the surnames in the request.
Point 4 though, same setup, no other music apps. I just push my voice button and say “play shut up by stormzy” or the kids might just ask for “play the hamilton soundtrack” and instantly get the playback.
Might be worth pointing out that I’m trialing a Fold4 at the moment and I have found that Siri is MASSIVELY better and more responsive than Google Assistant.
I’ve put my phone in so many random places or it’s fallen off my bed or couch after a call (take a lot of conf calls there) that “hey siri” has saved my ass. Before hey siri I actually had to log in to some shady online service to dial my phone.
Now, with the existence of Chat GPT, they could easily integrate that with Siri like Microsoft is to their… well everything. It wouldn’t make her perfect, but she would be decent.
I’ve found, I think, that saying “hey Siri” often doesn’t work if I haven’t said it in a while. But not always. It seems it always works when I’m using it over and over for a while.
Where do I start?
If “hey Siri” would actually work

Couldn’t agree more on all points.

Did Siri write this?!

Hey Siri works every time
Hey Siri has worked more when I didn’t want it to after I forgot to disable it than it has when I actually needed it to.
I use Spotify……never have had a problem in my car
Only thing I have to hard disagree with is 1)
I’ve put my phone in so many random places or it’s fallen off my bed or couch after a call (take a lot of conf calls there) that “hey siri” has saved my ass. Before hey siri I actually had to log in to some shady online service to dial my phone.
“I found this website for you”
“You have to unlock your phone first”
