speaking only for myself, is not siri more of a toy anyway? leaving
voiceover, for the serious work?
Personally I just dial directory assistance, since Siri is likely using
less current data. Still I am not using an iPhone anyway, so ignore me
lol.
Seriously, could not you just google the location for the number with your
phone rather than ask Siri?
Just wondering,

Hi,
While I understand your frustration with the redundancy and somewhat
meaningless back and forth banter, I believe that it is just a confirmation
sort of thing due to the fact that mistakes can be made in translation.

One of my pet peeve's about Siri has been that it is absolutely obtuse when you
asked to find a specific place on a specific street. It will come back and say
I found such and such a place on such and such a Street, does that look good?
Or is that the one you wanted? Well, Siri, since I already gave you the street
name of the store name, and I know there is only one such on that street, why
don't you just give me the phone number I asked for in the first place? Google
does this and so does Alexa. But good old Siri still can't get this right even
in iOS 11. Come on Apple. This is pretty elementary stuff. What the hell did
you do with all your work on Siri, anyway? Have other people found improvements
to Siri in the real world? I know it can do all sorts of music trivia about
which I care not. But what about real world situations? You know, like when you
want a phone number and don't want to engage in meaningless back-and-forth with
your so called Assistant?
