RE: Siri seems to have dementia
Hi, point well taken. I am sure there are more likely ways of wording a question. However, if I put latitude and Madison Wisconsin in a Google web search, I will likely get the answer. The other words, in good database searches, are just so much filler. If I said, would you please give me the latitude of madison wisconsin, the key words for that search are still there. However, Apple is Apple, and it often lives in a different universe. Smile.

Yes, I have asked Siri a question which he is able to repeat verbatim back to me. However, I don't assume that he understands the meaning of the question, but only that he can verbally repeat what I have said.

RE: Siri seems to have dementia
Neal, I find Siri unpredictable and inconsistent and in my opinion, if you want to discourage folks from using a technological advancement, that's the way to do it. I asked the Google app your Madison latitude question and got an immediate answer. I pretty much depend on Google if I need information and use Siri to do things like initiate phone calls to contacts or to open apps. She's pretty consistent with those sort of things.

Re: Siri seems to have dementia
I had the same results. did you ask: at what latitude...that is how I received the results the first time. I think if person asks, what is the latitude...it is asked improperly. oh well, semantics! lol From: SSEric Sent: Thursday, July 23, 2015 2:03 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Siri seems to have dementia Ijust asked for the latitudes of Madison, Wisconsin; Columbus, Ohio and Savannah, Georgia. All three were reported on the first try.

That was, however probably in 2012, and I probably loaded it from the hospital while visiting and did not pay as much attention as it needed.

I asked the Google app your Madison latitude question and got an immediate answer. I pretty much depend on Google if I need information and use Siri to do things like initiate phone calls to contacts or to open apps. She's pretty consistent with those sort of things. Alan Lemly -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Neal Ewers Sent: Thursday, July 23, 2015 2:27 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Siri seems to have dementia Hi all, I wonder if any of you have had the following problem. I have experienced a lot of situations where I will ask Siri a question and she will say that she doesn’t understand the question. It’s more specific than that. Here is an example. I ask Siri, “What is the latitude of Madison Wisconsin?” Siri says, “I don’t understand the latitude of Madison Wisconsin.” So she knows what I am asking, that is not where the breakdown occurs. I asked her this yesterday and twice she gave me the same answer using the exact same words I used in the question. On the third attempt, she gave me the answer. So, what goes here. Is she becoming brain dead? Is three times the charm? This has also happened on other questions lately. She repeats the question so I know she understands and several attempts later, she will give me the answer. I’ll likely report this to Apple, but I wondered if anyone else had seen this problem.

RE: Siri seems to have dementia
I’ve had a lot of trouble in this way with Siri. I hope it’s better when iOS 9 comes around. I pretty much go to Google Now instead of Siri.
