That's my feeling of Siri usage as well, that it's not reliable enough to just sort of take for granted.

But, what's really interesting to me is that Alexa has surpassed that level (at least in my household). So that for routine things, it's not a novelty to use it, but an actual improvement.

This is still obviously for non-essential services like music, games, weather, etc. but it's also reliable enough to handle things like turning on/off lights in awkward spots.

Alexa isn't really a chat bot. You issue commands to her. She does an amazing job at it. Seriously, the voice recognition is truly great. But you are still issuing a command.

You've just learned the language she speaks.
