Sometimes I ask it the time and it takes time to think and gives up. It's absolutely and utterly useless.

I had to try to believe and I'm baffled.

Mine told me the entire date instead of just the month.

Mine told me "It was Saturday, March 1st 2025" today.

close enough

Impressive. Mine goes 'sorry, I don't understand', after multiple attempts at 'what month is it'. Google assistant understands.

Having used it over the years I'm not. It feels like Siri uses AI/ML for speech recognition and then some pattern matching for the actual actions.

Meanwhile LLM's came along and shifted peoples expectations.

Works fine for me on iOS 17.7

Lol

Just tried this on Android, and it works (though it gives the full date)

I tried it with Siri and it worked the same, giving me the full date.
