I keep hearing about 'Siri" and people's reliance on - it - she - him

[Bretrick]

How reliable is "Siri"?
I do not have this technology but I have been in a car which does have "Siri"
Both times when the driver asked for directions the most roundabout way was given.
Once we were sent in the opposite direction and one time we were sent on a one km circle when in fact only one left turn would have sufficed.

I very very rarely use Siri.
I use google maps for directions when on foot or when geocaching.
I use my vehicle's navigation system for driving directions..

I don't have Siri. But I do have a new tablet that I can talk to and ask about anything and you can have a conversation with it. I'm not sayin what it regurgitates is gospel, but it will sure get you thinkin'.

I use Siri every day..it's more reliable than Google Home nest...or Alexa... both of which I have... and use every day also... I use Siri as my alarm clock too

However I would never use Siri in the car..on the odd occasion I need directions ( I have an excellent sense of direction so rarely need it)...I use Waze...

Waze beats google maps, by giving up to the minute traffic notifications.. which google maps does not

I have Alexa at home. Don't use her for important stuff...just setting reminders and alarms

Moses had two tablets and he was in the gospel.

Moses had two tablets and he was in the gospel.

He did have two tablets, but the map function didn't work well.
To be fair though, they were broken, so some misdirection is understandable.

I mainly use Siri to turn the iPhone flashlight on and off.

Siri is pretty good but every once in a while she reminds me of Gracie Allen.

I usually understand why she does various things but they are not always exactly what I had in mind.

I have Siri and Alexa and find them handy to spell words I can’t. Never for navigation. I have goggle maps for that. I use Alexa a lot for timing foods in microwave or oven. Alexa…set timer for 45 minutes.

 

[Ronni]

I use Siri all the time. She sends texts… I tell her who I want it sent to and what to say. I use her to search for things, to set reminders, ask her the time or date, she calls people for me, asks me if I want to answer a call, reads me incoming text messages etc.

She’s extremely helpful, especially when I’m driving and something needs to be attended to. My phone switches to my vehicle via Bluetooth whenever I start it up, and there’s so much I can do without ever taking my hands off the wheel or eyes off the road!!
