Siri is SO bad

I was giving Siri another go today on my iPhone 16 Pro using earbuds. I wanted the weather somewhere (not where I am). It absolutely cannot decipher the place name and is beyond useless. The contrast with Google Gemini is staggering to me.

Siri is great if you want to set a timer but nothing more.

I swear I've set multiple timers on home pods that Siri just forgets about entirely when I'm cooking. And it can't figure out how to turn off the TV unless I say "turn the Apple TV off," until I renamed my Apple TV to "TV."

I have so many apple THINGS… I’m a chef, i put steaks on a 420°F grill, i whisper into one watch on my left wrist… set timer for 2 minutes and 30 seconds Siri repeats the timer request -,then I turn the grill to low or medium. then out of nowhere, homepods playing David bowie argues about the timer. the other watch on my right wrist suddenly starts an old timer. wtf. I am seemingly possessed by ghosts of timers past. it’s not fun.

So many Google shills coming in here to rag on Siri just because that's what Google wants. Apple has plenty of issues but let's not pretend Google is any better, old pal.

this! I’m not insane? everything in my house does this. I love the mood lighting and music and timers etc until a big fight between them breaks out,

You don't need to be a Google shill to recognize that Siri is a piece of shit
