Personally, I don't want Siri to be 'smarter', if smarter means it becomes an open-ended and unpredictable way to have an LLM guess what I meant. I'd like Siri to be more powerful, yes.

I like that I can model Siri as a decision tree with voice-activated input. Being able to configure it to do more things (for example, to put reminders in Things rather than Reminders), that would be useful. More discoverability would also be great (but this is Apple we're talking about, so good luck there). But for me personally, the most important feature is that Siri is predictable: once I figure out how to do something with it, asking again in mostly the same way will get the same result. If I want to talk to an LLM, I have ChatGPT on my phone.
