I use Siri every day for something or another but almost invariably she gets it wrong. Play a song. Dislike a song. Ask a question. Make a call. Adjust a smart device setting. And sometimes it’s one minor word that makes all the difference.
It’s a shame because I really do prefer voice interaction. When it works, it’s magic.
And yet Siri is dumber than a bag of hammers…
And I say that as someone who has been using Macs since the 512k in high school.

Siri can’t even tell the difference between a 50 minute timer and a 15 minute timer.
I know this pain. This is why I have so many 49 minute timers
Siri set timer for 3000 seconds
I’ve resorted to saying five-zero-minutes. It’s annoying.
00000 minutes, starting now.
The only useful thing I’ve found with Siri is that my kids can be entertained by her for a few minutes asking her to tell them knock-knock jokes.
It really is amazing how bad it is.
