Anyone find iMessage and Mail summaries confusing? I am finding them beyond useless.

The other day I received a text message in the car. I asked Siri to read it to me and instead she read the summary..... which was almost unintelligible. It didn't occur to me for a while that this was the summary and not the actual text so it wasn't until I actually clicked on the message and heard the actual text that I figured out what was being said.

Then tonight I had a response to an Email I sent. The two line summary in my inbox took part of the response and part of the quoted text of my original Email and stuck them together to completely change the meaning.

How is this even slightly useful? I turned off Email and iMessage summaries.

Please let me know how you've turned the summaries off? I've been struggling to find this feature.
