> pretty darn good

Compared to what? A cat? Siri is worst-of-class technology in terms of voice-based assistant.

I carry both Apple's latest phone and Google's latest phone, and it would never occur to me to use Siri for a voice task other than "set timer" (so it buzzes on my watch too).

It's true that Apple is the only company playing this game that I might trust with an in-home always-connected assistant appliance like HomePod/Alexa/Google-whatever, but since Siri utterly sucks, I do not.

Completely agree and have a tough time understanding how anyone could push back? Yet you are down voted?

I do not get why it is acceptable now for Apple to provide an inferior user experience? Why do people defend it?

If people really need it broken down here is a great link.

On Siri it seems like people finally agree that Siri is horrible compared to the Google Assistant. Also why acceptable?

This is about self driving cars. Apple cars kill people will that also be acceptable? Why?
