Siri is almost comically bad. Just one recent anecdote:

When discussing a Jeopardy answer with my wife, I say "Hey Siri, who was Pol Pot". Siri said, "OK, calling Scott". So it woke up my friend at 1am..

And if I hear another "I found this on the web", I'm going to scream.

Siri is so bad it makes me want to go back to a pixel.

I had a nearly identical anecdote. I was driving my car to work soon I had moved to the Bay Area. I wanted to know what city I was currently on.

"Hey Siri, what city am I in?"

"Calling Ian"

It's always shocked me how dogshit Siri is. I run into this one every day:

"Siri, play some music"

"Sorry you will need to unlock your phone to do that"

"Siri, play some music"

<music starts playing>
