I been asking for the weather from Siri and speak slow enough for her to
understand my question. However, I get a different location or I've
found this on the web. Or I'm working on that and then a few seconds
later she say's I didn't hear back. This is on my home pod as well as
on my phone.

There is a definite difference in how quickly Siri listens in iOS 16, whether this because of the new tone or because
of something different I don't know, but sometimes I ask Siri to "Call John Smith" for lack of a better name
and I get "What would you like to know about John Smith". It says this because I spoke too quickly and Siri
didn't hear the "Call" part and instead only heard "John Smith".
But I do agree that in many ways Siri can be extremely dense and stupid considering Apple
came out with Siri 12 years ago. Sometimes for some reason it won't even do a simple
conversion and instead I get the answer"I found the following on the web
about..."

Subject: Siri’s selective hearing problem still prevails at the end of the iOS
16 cycle
Way back at the beginning of iOS 16’s cycle, people were complaining about the
new tone for Siri and about problems getting Siri to respond appropriately. 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.
