I've extensively used both iPhones and Pixel phones for years.

Siri is astonishingly, infuriatingly bad. It's hard to imagine anyone on the Siri team uses it daily like I do. It works well ~30% of the time and is bafflingly non-deterministic.

Google is much, much better, but it's still not objectively great. It's closer to 80% of responses being reasonable, which is still unacceptably low.

Siri and speech recognition are somewhat different. iOS seems to transcribe my spoken words reall very well most of the time.
