Sorry, Siri, Alexa's got you beat

Can't read the article due to ad blockers.

But going by the headline: Huh?

Siri is usually able to do something reasonable with requests I throw at it. Alexa -- almost never. I have a Dot at home, and it's good for getting a weather report and reciting the digits of pi. Otherwise, it's usually clueless.

Can someone please explain the hype?
