I’ ve noticed siri is not as smart as she used to be. At least for me since ios 11 she does not do as well.

For instance, I can now ask Siri if it is going to rain today, and follow that up with, "How about tomorrow?" Before iOS 11, when I asked about another day without mentioning rain, I would always get the response back that Siri couldn't find that information, or didn't know what I was talking about. Now though in iOS 11, I have been able to ask those questions and get the right answer back. Siri is not perfect, we all know that. However, it does seem to be gradually getting a little smarter. Is Siri to the level of Alexa, not hardly, but every little bit counts.
