Any SIRI Experts Here?

[boykinlp]

SIRI likes to drive me crazy sometimes! I apparently don’t understand how to ask her questions correctly. Sometimes I can ask a question and get a very detailed answer. Other times, I ask a question and get something like “I found this on the web, check it out “. This makes me want to pull my hair out! If I ask SIRI a question, I want her to TELL me the answer! If I wanted to look it up online, I’d do that and not ask her!

For example, just now I asked her “What is $100 from the year 1850 worth today?” When I got to where she’s sending me, it says $4004.26, so why couldn’t she just say $4004.26? Maybe it is petty, or maybe I just am not asking her the correct way.

Am I the only one that lets this bother them?

My wife and I have Android phones. She will ask it a question and it will not answer. I'll ask the same question and it will answer. She says that it doesn't like her. Lol. she won't ask her anything any more.

My girl Siri is Australian.

We talk a lot.

Her navigation skills are superb.

Google Gemini's answer is $2.27. I think Siri's math is off.

Siri is not as good as Alexa or Google Assistant.

The reason for this, I have read, is Apple is more protective of its users privacy, so unwilling to capture as much data from as many people as its AI superior competitors.

On the other hand, Apple likes to make its privacy protections a selling point.

I don't use Siri for much other than as a cooking timer. Then again, that's pretty much what I use Alexa for, too.

The new AI chatbots are a lotta fun to mess with although they apparently have the drawback of blithely making stuff up.

One time I wanted to watch the movie: Lights Out.
"Alexa Lights Out."
"OK"
....click.
She shut the TV off.

The solution? Simple. Get Amazon Echo Silver...specifically designed for the world's greatest generation.

But do they do the dishes after?

I remember the day you could ask Siri where to bury a a dead body. She would give you a list of locations. Not anymore.

The problem isn't Siri; the problem is you for using Siri.

I usually just voice text what I want to know on Google with my I phone 12. Google has a lot more answers than Siri on my phone and I can see the words in the question before I press enter so there is no misunderstanding.

I have a choice of accents for the Siri in my phone. I’ve chosen that of an Irish Lass.
One of our golden retrievers is named Sirius, a.k.a. Siri. It can be rather humorous when I say something to the dog and my phone responds. The other night I had the dog out for last call, the command is “Siri go take a leak.” The phone in my pocket responded in an Irish female accent, “My bladder isn’t full”.

That’s pretty funny! My female Siri has an Australian accent. It cracks me up when my phone notifies me of a new message, and if busy doing something else, I ask Siri what the new message says. Some of my friends can use kinda “salty” language at times, and when Siri reads those messages, it makes me laugh!

I have Alexa on my Samsung TV. I was watching a movie one night and one of the characters was named Alexa. When a character on the movie would ask the Alexa character a question, my TV Alexa would try to answer! Very confusing.

When I got my company issued smart phone the IT gal showed me SIRI. She asked it where the best place was to hide a dead body. SIRI told her the nearest cemetery. Other than telling her to go away or shut up that may have been the last time I used it. It was 2009 or so.
