When I'm driving my car I try to use Siri to play certain artists, but even that experience is awful.

I'll say to shuffle some music from a band containing "Theory" in its name. Siri gets everything right except replaces "Theory" with "Siri" and then starts playing something completely different!

Shouldn't Siri + Apple Music look at my own library first to find close matches to a spoken query before going off and playing something I've never listened to before that isn't even in the genres I listen to most?

It's pretty horrific UX, to me at least.

I think of all the software I use, CarPlay + Apple Music + Siri has the highest "scream factor" (i.e. causing me to scream out loud with frustration.)
