May I say Both? Or does my answer have to be one or other other? Oh no! I just asked a question in my answer.  

Truly Both.  I find Siri very helpful and at times a real PITA because Siri does not "get it" or understand.  I remain thankful for what Siri does provide.

I found it very helpful the first (and only) time I used it.  Coworker of mine got a new iPhone and didn't know about locking it down so siri wouldn't do stuff without being unlocked first.  I looked at his phone and said "Siri, delete all contacts" and it responded with a confirmation dialog.  The phone's owner lunged at me to grab the phone back... trust the Info Sec guy to mess with a coworker.

Home is where the hearth is.

With the latest "hands-free" version... I've finally found her to be useful.  When I'm driving I can simply say "Hey, Siri... dial Paul Henderson, mobile"... and she'll do just that.

I can also say "Hey Siri... send a text to Paul Henderson"... she'll then ask "what would you like me to say?"... and I respond "This text is totally hands-free".

That's pretty cool.

Frustrating because she always seems to turn on when No one wants her and then you have to fight to turn her off and then by that time you are just ready to throw your phone but then you think if I throw it the screen might crack and then Ill have to replace it and I just don't want to do that
