This is interesting to me. As someone who works at Google, and is a huge Android fan (and Apple hater), I am constantly astounded at how bad Assistant seems to be for me, and how good Siri seems to be for my friends.

Maybe I just speak really unclearly? Unfortunately, basically all of my friends have iPhones (even at Google), so it's hard to know if it's just me.

Grass is always greener on the other side. If you used siri you would be confronted with the bad instead of only seeing the good (this goes for anything which you are not using)

As iPhone users, your friends probably have learned exactly what Siri is and is not capable of and only use it publicly for things they know Siri can handle. Privately, you’ve all seen how badly your phones’ assistants fail, but you’re only aware of the times Assistant has failed on you.

I've got a Pixel 4 for work and an iPhone 8 for personal. (I work at Google now, but had a long stretch where I was trying to de-Googlify.) It's no comparison - Assistant seems way better than Siri. About the only advantage Siri has is in the personality department...she seems a bit nicer, while Assistant literally has the personality of a robot.

Very interesting. I can confirm the parent comment. I've got a kind of mumbling voice and am not a native English speaker, so Siri would not understand 60% of what I'm saying. While GA got everything I was saying every time, even when using a wired headset mic while riding a very noisy underground train.
