If by fail you mean that Apple will sell tons and tons of phones, then sure, it will be an "epic fail".Is siri will be focal point of event, it is gonna be epic fail

Why aye pet ;-)
Siri is not "trying" to say anything, "you" are the one trying to understand what she says
Not for me. I only really use siri to set reminders, alarms, and a few general questions here and there. I know she has a bigger knowledge base, and that it keeps improving every day. I just cant get over how bad she interprets what I am dictating. And it's been getting steadily worse over the 4 months or so. I'm hoping today brings some wax and Siri gets a good polish.
I use Siri regularly, but just for setting reminders, alarms, and timers, simple things that doesn't make me sound like a dick talking to my phone. For instance, every morning a 2 min timer for brewing my tea, or setting a wakeup timer for the morning. These are all pretty reliable. You learn to specify "pm" or "am" when giving a time, or it might get it wrong. I feel self-conscious talking to my phone, so don't do it in public. Occasionally I have asked it a trivia question and got a useful answer, like the population of somewhere, but generally the longer a question or more exotic words used, the more likely it is not to get the whole question. Placenames and the like in particular. I can't imagine relying on it to play things from my playlist, or movie titles. I learned a little while back you can teach it pronunciations, which is pretty cool for getting names pronounced correctly. For instance, my wife's surname of Austrian origin, which hardly anyone in the human world gets right.
Siri has gotten better over time, whether by learning my particular accent (Danish background living in Australia; even people sometimes aren't sure what I said with certain sounds), or by general improvements. I expect both. But if it learns your particular voice and accent, then considering it is all done in the cloud, they have voice profiles of all users. Must be one hell of a database. From what I hear from overseas videos, like the US, the Australian voice is actually one of the better ones (I use the female voice).

Nah, 90% of the time Siri get's what I say perfectly; for some reason it just seems to be this one phrase she struggles to understand (or I struggle to say?)
Haven't gotten it before, but also never had a public beta for a major X.0 version either, so hard to say what will happen with the GM. We'll just have to see.
SIRI keeps giving the answers implying the event is tomorrow... when the fact is that 'tomorrow' is today!
Well, some of us don't need calculators for such easy task. And even easier if converted to Hex instead of decimal. The ASCII table accepts either system.
I asked her this morning and she told me I had to wait until tomorrow like everyone else, I guess no one at Apple thought it should be updated day of event. Fail.
