You asked 2 questions in a system made for 1 question at a time. Split these up and Siri answers them fine. You’re holding it wrong.

A tool that can handle more than one question at a time is useful. Modern LLMs handle that with ease. So it's completely reasonable to be critical of that limitation.

Never mind that Infocom games running on my Apple ][+ could handle that sort of command in 1983.

(Well, with multiple direct objects, anyway.)

It’s been this way for over a decade. If someone hasn’t figured it out by now, that’s kind of on them.

I’m not even sure why those two things would be asked as a single question. It seems like a very unnatural way to pose those two questions. Most humans would trip on that, especially if it was asked verbally.

		> It seems like a very unnatural way to pose those two questions. Most humans would trip on that I'd assume GP only gave an example. As a pretty frequent user, I can unfortunately only confirm that Siri trips over almost every multi-part question. This would be forgivable if there weren't multiple voice-based AI consumer products available that can handle these kinds of requests perfectly.

		OP isn't asking how to use Siri to do his contrived task. OP is saying that Siri in 2025 should be able to handle that relatively simple albeit contrived task.
