WWDC 2016: Apple's Siri and the future of voice vs. Amazon's Alexa Echo, Google Now, Microsoft Cort
Siri is next to useless, and I find using it to be a constant source of frustration. I tried to use it yesterday to request directions from the Paradise Rock Club in Boston to a nearby hotel; it presented my with a list of places with Paradise in the name, none of which was the one I requested. I was able to repeat this behavior several times. Then I simply asked for the location of the Paradise Rock Club and it found it immediately, and I was forced to use Maps manually to get the directions (I was driving at the time). As others have pointed out, there seems to be a disconnect in Maps location requests. Anyway, this is just one example of its inconsistent and generally poor performance, but maybe my expectations are too high.
