And I am pretty sure she could never understand this: "hey Siri, play 僕たちはひとつの光 performed by μ's".
Got a tip for us?

I suppose I didn't mean goofy. But it's like having a secretary with a significant mental impairment.
I actually did this earlier today, and she asked something along the lines of "For which sport?" and only listed basketball, and curiously, hockey. Come on Apple. Good grief…Meanwhile:
WTF Apple, srs? Fail.
^^^This.
Pretty much shows how Siri works in its current form. I like your story.
So perhaps I can still keep "Siri and dictation" disabled in restriction.
Hilarious..
How's that speech impediment working out for you?
What speech impediment? That's a typical Siri reply, "I don't understand........" But I could search the web for it.
You forgot the part 2 of the meeting...
Employee: "What about the hardware upgrades?"
Cook: "Nah, let's just rebadge everything and put a higher number"
How's the 2008 Olympic medal table looking?
Not sure. Not a question I have any interest in.

adding a few simple answers and copy and paste some pokemon information? probably took a hour for two guys to throw together and develop. hardly a significant impact on the type of teams apple puts together and I'm pretty sure 2 mid level developers will be a massive impact on the status of the MacBook. especially when its a strong chance we will be getting a update for the MBP this fall.
Apple literally pumps billions into R&D for their products, i don't think a few people from the department that handles siri is going to off set that with such a small simple addition.
if anything, the 3 billion dollars that apple is going to make off pokemon Go will be more then enough to pay for the amount of time spent on this little siri update.
i mean if they spent 10Billion on R&D this year, and they got 3Billion back from pokemon Go alone, thats a pretty good investment for a single app. deffinetaly warrants a little bit of attention in my opinion. i wouldnt be surprise if they make more form pokemon go then they have put towards the R&D for this Macbook pro update, it would be as if pokemon basically just paid for that update for the MBP.
it is just disgusting. all this money and Siri does not know a sh.t about Olympics but they made an effort to recognize a game? really Apple? While we are at this, how about info on Formula 1 which is like one of the most popular racing sport in the world? instead of that we are getting more and more stupid emojis
It really is ridiculous and although i'm not in the 'apple is doomed" camp, I have to question some of the decisions they're making with Siri among other things. Then again they are the most valuable company in the world and I'm a nerd on a tech forum but whatever. Even my wife who doesn't care what she uses knows Siri sucks and is a joke, do Apple execs relaly think Siri is a usefull tool for anyone, for anything?it is just disgusting. all this money and Siri does not know a sh.t about Olympics but they made an effort to recognize a game? really Apple?

Siri is a contrived, cutesy feature designed for the easily amused. A dud compared to the highly useful Google Now.
Was getting worried that there is no more Pokemon Go articles...
I gave up on asking Siri these things. Did you try the Copa America or UEFA EURO 2016?

You get men in black knocking on your door at night..then you are never seen again.
Ask Siri how the new Macbook Pros, Mini, or Mac Pros are going. She'll send you straight to the Apple store to purchase the current 450 days+ old current Macs.
Humorous.
Humorous.

Normally I defend Siri as a useful bit of fun... but when you want to use it seriously.......
"Hey Siri, what song is playing?"
*Siri patiently listens*
"I believe this is XXXXXXX... one of the catchier numbers" (I start to cringe already at the joke even though Siri has got it bang on correct)
*Press on the song expecting it to play in Apple Music... you know, THE BUILT IN APP I PAY £10 A MONTH FOR.
"You don't have Shazam installed"
ARGGHHHHHHHHHHH!

I agree. But when people see Apple's focus shifting away from the professional market, towards irrelevant gimmicks then it's hardly surprising people mock and get irate. Perception often holds more power than truth.
