I’ve found a way to be at peace with the current state of #Siri.
In tech terms, it’s old. 12 years is a long time in technology. When you’re old, it’s often the case that you develop a hearing impairment.
Due to the condition that causes my #blindness, I also have a hearing impairment. It’s tough when I can tell people are getting frustrated because I ask them to repeat themselves.
So, the golden rule applies here. Hearing impaired virtual assistants have every right to do the job to the best of their ability. So even though I am repeating myself to Siri more and more of the time now, I do so willingly in the name of #inclusion.
See? It’s all in the way you think about things.

@JonathanMosen Jonathan: I love this! Thanks for making me laugh about Siri! The two most aggravating things she doesn't hear correctly: 1: the simple word "I." She will routely insert the word "are," instead. Those sounds are not the same and I speak very clearly and distinctly. She also doesn't respond correctly to the question: "Text Joe Blow." She will say: "What do you want to know about Joe Blow?" Maybe Siri's age is really like a dog's age: seven years for every one year, so she'd be 84! Please, I mean no offense to people who are in their 80's! Thanks for injecting humor into this on the one hand, and for commenting on your hearing impairment, as well.
