Paraphrasing... Me: Hey Siri, Call my wife. Siri: what do you want to know about XXX Me: I want to call my wife. Siri: XXX's phone number is XX. Do you want to call? Me: Yes, Call my wife. Siri: Sorry Something went wrong. I can give a myriad of other similar examples too. Siri is still hot garbage all these years later.

I was certainly one of those people. N Now, many months later, I’m still one of those people. Certain things I can ask. Siri never screws up. Open the App Store, for instance. I don’t think it ever missed that command. But open BARD Mobile. Open the name of my credit union, and many other open commands as often as not meet with some stupidity about what it found on the web or how it doesn’t think I have such an app, even though it has opened the app many times in the past. I thought it was supposed to have some kind of on device machine learning, which would help it disambiguate things it wasn’t sure of. This must not be true, because its overall performance has maintained its low level, whereas on iOS 15, the very same Siri with the very same commands yields reasonable results almost all of the time. So, whatever Apple did in iOS 16 has not been fixed as far as I’m concerned. I can only hope they do better in iOS 17.
