Voice assistants encompass such a broad area and tasks that are so incredibly complex. Image recognition is a pile of piss, easy peasy compared to getting a computer to understand language, context, dialect etc.
I think eventually voice assistants will be loads better and it might take our lifetimes to get there. Now that we have processing power, we can break every action down and join the subsets together under one umbrella. I have great hope for the future, and that we will eventually realise it true potential. Right now it's disappointing from almost all angles.

Incorrect. The person cherry picked a response from Google search without showing the top options. This is called lying or misleading in order to show your side of an argument.
I showed the top results from the same search wording to show the truth. If YOU prefer to be misled, that's your choice.

I didn't say Google didn't have issues. I simply said it's light years ahead of Siri.
At least in 'my world' reading comprehension is a standard that's taught in English class.
My favourite is Sam Sung. Nice young fellow, but still not permitted near my studio.
This is exactly the problem, and is not how real life is.
Imagine this............
You ask your wife or a close friend about your holiday about some cloths, about things important to you, and they will be able to give you a good meaningful answer, as they know a LOT about all aspect of you. This is how people in real life help and assist you.
Now try asking a stranger that you have not shared all your details with about the same things. they will look at you with a blank face, and not be able to help. How can they help, you have not allowed them to know hardly anything about you.
Apple wants to be that stranger.
I don't understand how people think any AI system can ever grow into much, if you keep secrets from it,
I mean, it's the second result in your screenshot. And was in my test too.

The guy knows what he did, and i know why he did it. Don't try and act like you dont know whyl. He intentionally tried to make Google's response appear wrong by a] picking the result that was from a religious website and then b] not mentioning that it was from a religious website, nor that it was the top result. He cherrypicked the result that he knew would make Google's response appear wrong. Plain and simple. And he was caught doing it.
This really is the crux of the issue. Siri can't learn you by reading messages and emails and picture data. She can't get smarter...
Actually, Apple takes all the same data as Google. The difference is they randomize it, so no individuals information can be plucked from the metadata (or at least that's what Apple is saying).
I don't get what's supposed to be bad about Siri. There are plenty of Apple services I have issues with, but Siri is not one of them. The speech-to-text by itself was pretty bad early-on, but it's great now, and it seems to support anything I need to do.

I found the opposite. My "people" section in photos only has 4 results. And one of them is a flippin' emoji.
Interesting.
I used a Google Nexus 4 for about 10 months, I have to say the experience was incredible (not the hardware). Google Now was amazing, it was like the phone was reading my mind and giving me helpful info without asking for it.
