I know it makes me sound like a lunatic to anyone listening, but I always use the most condescending monotone with Siri in the car, like this. "Directions to Wal-Mart,... in... Beaverton,... Oregon." Doesn't matter if I've been to that Walmart 197 times since Apple Maps 1.0 came out, because if you don't be as explicit as , 1 out of 10 times, it'll decide that you must mean a random Walmart 12 states away. Or like "Wall Plastering Incorporated."

And even when it's getting it right, and if there's only one Walmart in Beaverton, it still to this day needs to ask "One option is Walmart on Expressway Road in Beaverton...." Maybe it's correct in its 0% confidence level there, since it's so bad, but... I don't get how you could design something that bad, even before LLMs existed. I feel like I could do better, even using their Speech-to-text engine, with the processing backend built of pure regexes and if/elses.
