What are you talking about? Are you even using an iPhone?
Whoa!!! Thanks so much! I just noticed the Samsung logo on the back. No wonder it doesn't answer me when I say, "Hey Siri"!! I thought I've been buying iPhones since 2007 but somewhere along the way someone's been pulling a fast one on me.

Wait, that can't be, right?! I know! I've been perceiving altered reality! I try to use Siri and it actually works perfectly, but my mind thinks it doesn't perform as designed. Acid flashbacks? Seizure activity? Head trauma? Hangover? Whatever it is, I'm so grateful to you, Mr. Matrix, for helping me through this! The next time Jones Oil & Heating answers the phone, I'll now know that's it's really my friend Bob on the line.

Dude, I owe you one. Unnerving when you can't trust your senses. Thanks for setting me straight.

Sarcastic aside. If you really get this from SIRI

You said:
I'm mystified by the expansion of, or even consumer interest in, Siri, at least as it stands right now. Siri can't even parse a simple question, identify all contacts, or even reliably dial a phone number.

"I don't know what do you mean by 'What parade is happening here today?'"

"I found one number for [business name]. Would you like to call it?"
"Yes."
"I don't know what you mean by 'Yes.'"

"Call Robert Jones" [in my contacts]
"Calling Jones Oil and Heating..."

Then sorry, you're having Chinese knock off. I recommend checking your phone back thoroughly, seriously.

Using common sense for one second. If SIRI is that bad, can't even make a simple phone call to someone with plain name, wouldn't there be articles ridiule it by now? I can easily prove your post is non-sense but why bother when it's plain for everyone who isn't Fandroids or Apple haters to see that it's completely non-sense.

For example, from this review:
5 ways ‘Hey Siri’ will change your life for the better
Getting Directions
I use Siri voice directions all the time, so the ability to be able to ask my iPhone for spontaneous navigation without having to plan it ahead of time, or pull over the car, is definitely useful.

Why is he using SIRI all the time when it can't even know what "Yes" mean? I mean, seriously.
or this
The possibility of being able to walk into a room, say “Hey Siri, play me Jay Z” or “Hey Siri, let’s finish the Nerdist podcast” is exactly the kind of feature that will make the new, improved Siri indispensable.

It works pretty well, too. Asking for a Kanye West album immediately resulted in College Dropout (still his best album playing), for instance. It could do with a slightly better Apple TV-style Universal Search feature, though — particularly when it comes to asking for media from different sources. At least we know that’s something Apple’s actively investigating.

Is he smoking crack? Didn't he get the memo SIRI doesn't know people name? "Robert James" says Hello.

Like I said, investigate your phone back thoroughly.

News flash: Matrix discovers Apple Stores selling Chinese knockoffs! (I bought mine at an Apple Store). Lmao! Nice job!

Google "Siri inaccurate" and you'll find a lot of imaginary complaints from nonexistent users of Chinese knockoff iPhones who are lying about their Siri experiences.

Me? I've been hating Apple since I got my first Mac in 1987 (it was a Chinese knockoff of a Mac SE). I haven't converted three friends and my whole family to the Apple ecosystem, and if I did buy iPhones (which I hate) for my wife and daughter I made sure they were Chinese knockoffs.

See? You've totally got it figured out! (Or maybe, just maybe, I'm in the large fraction of people who find that Siri is wrong a large fraction of the time.)

LOL! Now your proof is Google search? (Try searching "People seeing UFO" and see how many results you'll get)

And you will dismiss everyone that say it's working well and using it everyday?

Your case is easily proved, you know? Say, What if I create this "Robert James" in Contacts with some phone number and tell her to call him? If she can call him, what will you do? Will you upload video to YouTube saying I'm stupid and don't know how to use SIRI and post here?

Lol! This is how bad forums like this have become. A fool is sucking me into a debate over whether or not I'm really me.

You're right, Matrix. Siri works fine. Never fails. I depend on it all the time. I made all that up. Big Apple fan who suddenly went postal on Siri for no reason. My bad.

Seriously, goes to Apple Store. Have them look at your phone. They will service you. Why using phone that's malfunction?

But if you really think SIRI is that bad, then nobody can help you. Because what's wrong starting in your head.

I'm out. This's all I can do.

Looks like it's also in Walt Mossberg's head. And nearly everyone else's. :rolleyes:
