Siri has made me feel like an idiot so many times I don't even try any more. Fool me once...

(I use it for reminders. That seems to work. Looking up anything is useless.)

We bought an amazon device to use as a kitchen timer. It sits right next to where everyone charges their iPhones. Nobody uses Siri. It’s sad. I want to love her, but I honestly can’t remember the last time she was useful, she only works with apples’ ecosystem (and I refuse to use maps it’s tried to kill me on multiple occasions), and I can’t honestly remember the last time I was impressed with her progress forward as a tech.

If the sum of 20 years of voice technology is a glorified stopwatch, you got to wonder...

Using Siri as a timer is one of the more common things people do with Siri. Why would you buy a whole different device just for timers?
