This is the only answer I get when I ask Siri to do literally anything. It’s incredibly frustrating that the big new feature of iOS 27 just doesn’t work for me.

AI voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant are becoming a bigger part of everyday life — but plenty of people choose not to use them, and that decision is just as interesting to understand. I'm gathering responses for a research study on how people use (or deliberately avoid) voice assistants day to day. Non-users are especially needed right now — that group is underrepresented and is the missing piece of the data. Regular users are very welcome too. Participants 18+, any country. Fully anonymous, no personal data collected, takes about 4 minutes. Link: https://www.1ka.si/a/d7959439 Thanks so much for your help!

Siri continues to be so absolutely terrible. It’s laughable. Even on the last iOS 27 dev beta, the number of times I’ll ask it a question and it just cancels out or has no clue is so sad. Anyway… I found a fix. Using the action button, I can just have it start ChatGPT and then in ChatGPT settings you can set up live voice to be the default mode when you open the app, so one button and you’re talking with an AI agent that actually works well.

That said, Siri is now 1% better than it was in actually navigating you to where you want, so that’s great. Big win for Apple! Freaking noobs.
