As a postdoc in computational linguistics, my go-to example for talks is asking Siri not to show me the weather.

... Siri doesn't show you the weather by default. I know your point is about shallow parsing, but there's a reason it still kinda works.

For "Hey Siri, don't show me the weather!" I get "Here's the forecast for today"

Exactly. But it was already not showing you the weather before you said anything. The query stymies shallow parses NLP assistants do, but isn't one you would actually give in real life.
