This can't come soon enough. Apple has made Siri dumber over the years. I used to be able to say "Hey Siri, play Overcast" and it would play my podcasts. Now it says "I don't see any music by Overcast in Apple Music". When I say "Hey Siri, tell the Overcast app to play" it replies "the Overcast app doesn't have any unplayed content" — even when I'm in the middle of an episode, and I have many unplayed episodes. It is dumb as rocks.

If I tell it to intercom and “mistakenly” (stupid me) use a persons name at the beginning of the message, it will fail and tell me that it can’t yet intercom to contacts.

It’s become a liability.

Hey siri, turn on the AC!

Proceeds to call someone I’ve been texting whose name sounds nothing like anything in that phrase.

"Siri, set the lights to full."

I've had Siri call people randomly when I didn't even say hey Siri. It called someone I hadn't talked to in years.
