Have you ever been cooking and asked Siri to set a timer? That's basically the most used AI feature outside of "coding" I can think of.

Setting a timer and setting a reminder. Occasionally converting units of measure. That's all I can rely on Siri (or Alexa) for and even then sometimes Siri doesn't make it clear if it did the thing. Most importantly, "set a reminder", it shows the text, and then the UI disappears, sometimes the reminder was created, sometimes not. It's maddening since I'm normally asking to be reminded about something important that I need to get recorded/tracked so I can "forget" it.
The number of times I've had 2 reminders fire back-to-back because I asked Siri again to create one since I was _sure_ it didn't create the first one.
Siri is so dumb and it's insane that more heads have not rolled at Apple because of it (I'm aware of the recent shakeup, it's about a decade too late). Lastly, whoever decided to ship the new Siri UI without any of the new features should lose their job. What a squandered opportunity and effectively fraud IMHO.
More and more it's clear that Tim Cook is not the person that Apple needs at the helm. My mom knows Siri sucks, why doesn't the CEO and/or why is he incapable of doing anything to fix it. Get off your Trump-kissing, over-relying-on-China ass and fix your software! (Siri is not the only thing rotten)
