It's not going to work overnight. I think it's great that apple integrated Siri in their product even though it wasn't very useful. There has been great progress in just a few years. I was skeptical too but I use it more and more. Things like "remind me to ...". "Play ...". I also use google voice quite often with my android TV box.
That being said, I'm always much faster with a keyboard. I prefer a smart text interface that understands basic actions, fuzzy search and so on.
