“what little I tell it” may be the key to your success. If you’ve only ever set timers and asked it the temperature in Cupertino, you probably think it’s great.
I’ve attempted far more than this. Things that Google search can answer with it’s top result. Things that other voice assistants can do. Things that seem mechanistic to me like “what time will United Flight 1201 from Phoenix to San Francisco arrive?” And it can’t do it. Just returns web results.
Never once has Siri pleasantly surprised me with its answer. Many many times it has disappointed me, even with low expectations.
Am I the only one that’s never had any issue with Siri understanding me? The thing does what little I tell it to with no issues.
She mixes up 50 minute timers for 15 for me.
The other issue is when you want her to play a playlist but there’s a song with the same name in Apple Music and she plays that instead.
Well to be fair I have the same problems with the humans that I live with
No joke: if Siri doesn’t understand me, I often reiterate the question/request with the preface “Siri, you fat bitch, …”.
“Siri, you fat bitch, play Headhunters by Herbie Hancock!”. It works.
The issue isn’t understanding its comprehension.

Alexa fails the simple things. So Siri is better than that at least.
