I deleted messenger long ago when I realized it was always listening. Thats just beyond unacceptable.
Siri is a joke at this point. Cortana, version 1 mind you, does more out of the box on day one than Siri has done in the last 3 years. I'm not sure what Apple is doing over there, but it's definitely not software inner workings of Siri.
After looking how Google Photos works automatically, I'm not sure what Apple is doing anymore to improve our lifes/save us time with software other than coming up with hardware designs.
I use Siri frequently for the following:
I've used it for many other things as well, but not as frequent as the above uses. Thankfully the use of "Hey siri, dial 911" has been pretty limited when out riding the motorcycle, but nice to know will work if something does go badly wrong on the road.
- Remind me about something when I get home/leave work/etc
- "Hey siri, what time is it" at night in bed. I have terrible vision without glasses and no alarm clock is readable by sight.
- Timers similar to your use
- When a job had a commute running next to the baseball stadium "Hey Siri, are the Blahs playing today?" as I left work to know to take an alternate route
- When riding my motorcycle, Siri is reachable thanks to my bluetooth enabled helmet. Good for switching music or getting directions to the nearest gas station when needed.
- Asking for the weather forecast when packing
- Unit conversions since the US is still stuck using King Henry's foot to measure things while otherwise swearing off anything British.
I've never found talking to ones phone acceptable if courtesy and respect are considered when around others. However for those who wanted to show off Siri I think it bolstered their egos.This is awesome. I wish there was a way to text with siri instead of always having to use voice. It's obnoxious. In unprofessional in work environments!
This however, is great.

This set up certainly doesn't sound like it'll be easy to scale to me! I guess there'll come a tipping point at some stage where they'll need to change the model...

Google Now gets my nod because it's just brilliant at learning very quickly. By typing is as little as just one word, sometimes only the first few letters it guesses precisely what I want. It takes less than a week to learn what's important as long as you use it.
Then again I barely use any of these assistants as talking into your phone to one of these things makes you look like a moron.
Last time I needed a new helmet, went with a Nolan and added their headset/bluetooth NCom kit to it. People I've had phone calls with said they couldn't even tell I was riding. Well worth the investment for 2 months I was on the road, and for helmet to helmet communication when riding with a friend.I have yet to find a headset that will work reliably with my motorcycle helmet. Which one do you use?
Lol. Tin foil hat much?I deleted messenger long ago when I realized it was always listening. Thats just beyond unacceptable.
I use Siri more and more these days; navigation (in the car), calendar (in the car), timer (mostly for cooking) and weather on occasion. I can't image myself using an A.I. assistant for much more than this.

Yes my facebook feed has never been more active than in the past 6 months.Facebook is dying. Everyone I know is using it less and less.
To make up the volume Facebook seems to be generating faux posts/likes as well as putting more and more "whatt you did 12 months ago" type posts. Its also becoming a Meme factory where instead of sharing anything about themselves people are just reposting cat pictures and the like.
So this is just like the Facebook phone, another desperate attempt to remain relevant.
An API to integrate Siri to third party apps, improve voice recognition (it fails quite a lot in French), and better contextual informations.You say Apple have done nothing for 3 years (obviously not true), more useful would be to hear what you want adding and why.

Google Now learns very well my habits, where I am and where I'm likely to go soon. It directly proposes me directions to go to work, and if I ask to text <name>, it'll find the most relevant name according to where I am and what time it is.
An API to integrate Siri to third party apps
If Siri doesn't know which application use in a context, it can simply ask you what you want to do ? Kinda like "text <insert name>", if there's 2 mobile numbers it'll ask you which one you have to use.People bring this one up ALL THE TIME without considering the implications. How do you feed her context? If you have multiple apps all doing the same or similar things, which one gets the priority? How do you give her enough vocabulary to recognise subtleties between actions?
Extensibility like this is an impossible puzzle to solve. So it won't be for the foreseeable future.
I'd much prefer them to focus on fine-tuning a first party intelligent assistant than having to deal with the incomprehensive mess that serving a third party API would create.
