Siri is unusable except for the following:

- open an app. (Say Apple Podcasts, otherwise it'll open deezer)

- call a contact (but randomly replaces your most frequently called person with someone I've spoken 10+ years ago)

- set a timer

- set an alarm

that's really it. Reminders work like shit, exactly like you said.

If siri doesn't know what to do with a contact, it asks you what you wanna do, and then doesn't understand it. I turn all this crap off as much as I can. Just a bunch of wasted dev-time, battery-time, and chip/die realestate which could be used for anything else.
