Here's a recent conversation I had with Siri.

Me: Hey Siri, set the living room lights to 100%.

Siri: 100% = 1

This has been working for 6-7 years without any issues, and suddenly Siri is giving me math lessons. What the hell is happening in this company?

Me: Hey Siri, turn on the [such and such] light

Siri: Shows the literal text “Hey Siri, turn on the [such and such] light” on the screen and does absolutely nothing. It’s an edit box. Pressing enter has no effect.

Siri is about old enough to be getting a drivers license now, and I swear it's going through the same brain development woes.

Did you upgrade your iOS? I’m stubbornly sticking to v18 as long as I can and have noticed no such change. Cooking timers, alarms, and light settings are basically all I use Siri for.

I’m still using iOS 18 as well. This issue happens randomly and usually through Apple Watch.

Honestly, I don’t care how complex and advanced the Siri is, I want simple tasks to work 100%.

Same thing has happened to me with Siri. It's absolutely garbage.

For years, I've said "Hey Siri, turn on Bright" because I have a "Bright" Home scene configured. About 2 months ago, the HomePod updated and now responds consistently with "Pause in the bedroom?"

Nothing is playing in the Bedroom. Nothing CAN play in the bedroom, there's just lights in the Bedroom. No speakers. What the heck is it even _trying_ to pause.

It's infuriating.

It made me remember how Siri used to turn on the lights when you say “Let there be lights”. Unfortunately, that doesn’t work anymore either. It was a cool gimmick that made us chuckle.
