Siri (for all the absurd whining about it) met those expectations 10 years ago.

Hmm, my experience with Siri is that it's good for setting timers, okay at setting reminders, and that's about it.

Even reminders is pretty bad:

"Hey Siri, add celery to the shopping list" "Okay John, I've added celery to the shopping list list (sic)."

Shopping list: - Celery

"Hey Siri, remove celery from the shopping list" "Okay John, I've added celery to the shopping list list."

Shopping list: - Celery - Celery

This is not meeting expectations.

Ha hahah, that is indeed not good.

Although somewhere I'm sure we can find an '80s pop-culture vehicle that predicts those shortcomings as well.
