- megablast 10mo agoIf they let you use siri to change settings it would be very useful. Instead I have to search fro hard to find options.
- robbiet480 10mo agoI'm really surprised this got any fanfare at all from Apple. Kind of confirms a single person as the reason for their continual AI misses which feels weird for them.
- biglyburrito 10mo agoNah, ksec had a great post in a thread a few months ago about a number of senior execs Tim Cook has promoted to positions to which they're ill-suited. John Giannandrea was just one of many such people: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43436174 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43436174 An organization of Apple's size doesn't fail due to the mistakes of a single person, unless that person is the CEO.
- jacktheturtle 10mo agointeresting
- rvz 10mo agoWho? Maybe that was the problem. What did he even do for Apple's AI strategy for 7 years? Apple is still far behind in doing anything useful with AI.
- dekhn 10mo agoHe did nothing, or net-negative. Same as Google; it was totally unclear how this guy got promoted to the level of power he had based on his history. [Now I remember- he came in with the metaweb acquisition at a time when search was going all-in on knowledge graphs and semantics]
- gedy 10mo agoWas anything even attempted? Looking from outside, Siri is same always been, and no improvement in a decade.
- Onavo 10mo agoSupposedly the main blocker for launching is because Apple would consider it reputational damage if the AI hallucinates. They have a very conservative approach when it comes to LLMs (on the other hand they are happy to scan all your photos and messages in the guise of child safety and send the data to the government and ChatControl). Problem is, Siri is already damaging Apple's reputation with how useless it is..
- pharos92 10mo agoI remember buying the iPhone 4S in 2011, and it being the first iPhone to ship with Siri. It's 2025, and Siri is still fundamentally useless.
- Onavo 10mo agoWell, it's still powered by the old codebase doing slot-filling named entity/intent detection that will route you to safari the moment it gets stuck ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
- dhussoe 10mo agono, it's very useful for setting timers and for setting garbled reminders for a soon enough time that I'll remember what I actually meant rather than being confused by whatever it spewed out instead!
- gedy 10mo agoYeah, I guess I've always distinguished "hallucinating" as e.g I asked for a chicken soup recipe and it told me how to make cyanide. Vs some social media person prompt hacking it to say fascism is good, etc. I've seen more of the latter than the former.
- danielheath 10mo ago
- elAhmo 10mo agoSiri is probably among the products which had the most exposure to users (probably a billion+ users throughout iPhone's history) without capturing that opportunity to actually do anything meaningful with the huge user base it got for free. A decade and a half is insane timeline in tech industry, and huge majority of users use Siri the same way today as 15 years ago, setting a timer or an alarm clock. If they had 0 improvements over these 15 years the situation wouldn't be much different than today.
- browningstreet 10mo agoSiri isn’t the only one.. Amazon has the same story with Alexa, but they did get to Alexa+ before Siri’s successor bowed.
- sethops1 10mo agoI'd throw in the failure to do anything meaningful with home automation, which I guess could fall under the Siri umbrella of failure. Maybe I'm still peeved big tech bought up the industry just to kill any innovation.
- kridsdale1 10mo agoHey, my 10 HomePods are able to turn off 80% of my lights at night, 80% of the time!
- pornel 10mo agoI've switched to Home Assistant, and it's sooo much better. Home Assistant can even share devices with Home app, so you can still use "Siri, turn off the lamp" to have it answer "you don't have any alarms set".
- npunt 10mo agoI'm amazed 'set a reminder for x when I leave this location' still doesn't get the 'when I leave this location'. It's clear user expectation created internally (by siri marketing) and externally (by ai tools) has far outpaced capability.
- swyx 10mo agobrief career timeline: 1980s - silicon graphics / general magic 1990s - chief technologist, netscape early 2000s - CTO Tellme (speech recognition) late 2000s - CTO Metaweb (knowledge graph) -> acquired into Google 2010s - Google head of Machine Intelligence, Search, Gmail Smart Reply, etc, then took over Google Search and ML driven ranking (BERT) 2018 -> SVP ML/AI Apple to merge Siri/Core ML/all AI offerings under one roof 2023-2025 - led Apple Intelligence push March 2025 - removed as head of Siri Dec 2025 - retirement would love to do an exit interview with him on the last 4 decades in building ai assistants! -- https://x.com/markgurman/status/1995617560373706942?s=20 https://x.com/markgurman/status/1995617560373706942?s=20 cv of his successor Amar Subramanya - 16 years at GDM - head of eng for Gemini chatbot/training. joined microsoft in JULY this year.. and now poached to Apple. lmao.
- joezydeco 10mo agoI remember Tellme. They had an 800 number for free information via speech query but, of course, it was also for training ala 411GOOG. Fun times.
- next_xibalba 10mo agoI miss 411GOOG. It was fun and felt like a cool fusion of new and old tech.
- nostrademons 10mo agoIts purpose was to get training data for speech recognition. Once Google’s speech recognition was working reliably, there wasn’t much reason to offer the service got free.
- 1a527dd5 10mo agoThis might be my new favourite definition of "failing upwards".
- satvikpendem 10mo ago
- sfblah 10mo agoSiri's awfulness really is a thing to behold. I haven't used an android phone in a while. For those users out there, does its voice assistant actually work?
- LZ_Khan 10mo agoNo. actually no company on earth has solved the voice assistant thing yet
- rightbyte 10mo agoHow is that even possible with modern transcribing and natural language capabilities?
- torlok 10mo agoExactly. Looks like everybody's complaining that Siri isn't a better Ask Jeeves, when that's not the design goal. What people expect is an LLM that has full access to the phone. Nobody's even remotely close to shipping that.
- mannyv 10mo agoIMO the problem is he was going for "real AI" instead of "fake it until you make it" AI. Then LLMs came and it still wasn't "real enough."
- reactordev 10mo agoBut those stock options and benefits were excellent… /s Honestly he’s had one hell of a career. Even if Siri sucked.
- dboreham 10mo agoFull disclosure: I've known jg since 1986. I have no insight into the Apple goings on, but the story that "he's the guy that made Siri suck" sounds very very unlikely to me.
- natch 10mo agoHe's not the guy who made it awesome, that much is known.
- reactordev 10mo agoYeah, not attributing it to him, just his lack of being able to do anything with it. Could have been Apple Politics. Could have been a number of things. Still. Idle hands, he should get back on that horse if he can. Go do more stuff.
- paxys 10mo agoWhere is this "real AI" you speak of?
- the_mitsuhiko 10mo agoFrom the outside looking in it really feels like Apple focused so much on privacy and now has no strategy of how to make that work with AI right now. People increasingly seem to forgo the idea of retaining the data for themselves because they find AI products so fascinating / useful that they're just not caring, at least for the moment. I think this might swing back in the favor of Apple at one point, but right now it is kind of fascinating how liberally people throw everything at hosted AI models.
- ares623 10mo agoI personally hope Apple doesn’t get too involved in the madness. If the sentiment changes they’ll be in a great position messaging wise. Microsoft and Google have thrown their reputations away.
- JumpCrisscross 10mo ago> it really feels like Apple focused so much on privacy and now has no strategy of how to make that work with AI right now I see Apple dusting off its OG playbook. We're in the minicomputing era of AI. If scaling continues to bear fruit, we'll stay there for some time. Potentially indefinitely. If, however, scaling plateaus, miniaturisation retakes precedence. At that point, Apple's hardware (and Google's mindshare) incumbency gains precedence. In the meantime, Apple builds devices and writes the OS that commands how the richest consumers on Earth store and transmit their data. That gives them a default seat at every AI table, whether they bother to show up or not.
- racl101 10mo agoIt could benefit them if they remained an AI free or a NOT AI first alternative once enshitification has really taken hold with AI.
- torben-friis 10mo agoIf there's a company who could ever afford to be late to the party is apple though. Not the first to bring mp3 players to the market, nor phones, nor tablets. Market leader every time. They could have just stayed in a corner talking about privacy, offer a solid experience while everything else drowns in slop, researched UX for llms and come 5 years later with a killer product. I don't get why they went for the rush. It's not like AI is killing their hardware sales either.
- markus_zhang 10mo agoThe only usage of Siri to me is to set hot spot so that it doesn’t shut down itself in a few mins. (And BTW why the f does it do that?) But it has failed to switch on Hotspot recently so I don’t use it anymore.
- PlunderBunny 10mo ago'Hot spot' as in Settings->Personal Hotspot? I've had that enabled for more than 10 years, and could count the number of times I've found it off and had to turn it on again using one hand. Sounds like a regional/carrier-specific thing. I recall that in the early days, carriers could disable hotspot functionality on their network. I hear hotspot functionality is pretty broken on iOS 26 though.
- markus_zhang 10mo agoIt sure what’s going on my side. Hotspot turns off almost as soon as there is no usage. I wonder if there is a way to debug that. Just checked I’m on iOS 18.2.
- phantasmish 10mo agoGP’s behavior is what I see, it usually doesn’t shut itself off while I’m connected but once it’s on I have to act fast to get connected or it’ll shut itself off in a minute or two. And if I disconnect for a second, it’ll be off and I have to turn it on again. Really annoying the rare times I use it. Been like this many versions, but dunno if it does it with the latest.
- twodave 10mo agoI think the main issue I have with Apple Intelligence via Siri is that it’s not very predictable anymore which things it can handle. Sometimes it will answer nuanced questions helpfully, and other times I’ll ask for it to play the only podcast in my lineup and it’ll instead play some random song I’ve never heard of. I find it more useful when I’m thinking and running and want an answer to a question, because I know I can get the answer whenever I stop long enough to pull my phone out, but in the meantime having the answer would help me work through something. I’d say my overall impression of the capabilities are negative, and it’s also not a surprise (it’s not like Apple pretended it can do things it can’t, which should have been their clue early on I guess)
- raincole 10mo agoSo what is going on here? The reason is definitely not that Apple couldn't even train a small local LLM to power Siri, right?
- twodave 10mo agoEven with ChatGPT in play it’s not very good.
- singularity2001 10mo agoChatGPT does not help with the system integration it's just an afterthought. It could potentially help tremendously but for that they would need to understand the usefulness of LLMs and tool usage.
- swyx 10mo ago"couldnt even" is a high bar. it is an unsolved problem to make small models (truly, no bullshit) perform at human intelligence level than to make large models do the same. the bar JG had to pass was a bit lower than that, but Apple's marketing team unfortunately overpromised.
- yen223 10mo agoIf this video is to believed, this is the result of internal Apple politics between the software engineering folks, and the AI folks, with the software engineering folks "winning" https://youtu.be/50XKNKGPWs8?si=nznI4ydFBT5pXfNa https://youtu.be/50XKNKGPWs8?si=nznI4ydFBT5pXfNa
- nostrademons 10mo agoIf that’s true it would be quite interesting, as the AI folks are winning almost everywhere else in the software industry, notably at Google.
- yen223 10mo agoI can believe that this is a case of the Software Engineering team being effective in a way that the AI/ML team wasn't. Apple's internal culture is notoriously closed and secretive, not the best way to approach cutting-edge AI research, especially when it wasn't their core competency in the first place. But mainly I wanted to share that video because Craig Federighi calling the AI/ML team "AI/MLess" is one heck of a burn
- sampton 10mo agoApple AI team launched Apple Intelligence before it was fully baked. That's a no-no by Apple standards.
- aetherspawn 10mo agoThis new guy is from Microsoft, who have enshittified every product they own with AI, ads, zero privacy data exfiltration, cloud everything, no security framework whatsoever, and the like. I hope they don’t do anything remotely like that at Apple. I am completely okay with the Apple approach to date (privacy and late mover cost advantage over progress and burning money/raising prices). At this point, their investment to ship a better Siri is nearly zero if they take an open source model and run it on the device. Did John really mishandle it, or did he realise this and decide not to burn $BILS of cash and play the long game instead?
- add-sub-mul-div 10mo agoI use Windows every day and see no AI anywhere. It's trivial to turn off (thankfully) and we wouldn't even hear about it if there wasn't an outrage industry around Microsoft.
- aetherspawn 10mo agoAside from all the 365 subscription prices turning into “+ Copilot” editions and silently going up in price like 20%, that you then have to access hidden flows to opt-out of, right? Perhaps you are not getting it rammed down your throat because you’re not a business user? On personal editions one area where AI has been a failure is taking over the search bar, but you’re right, you can disable it.
- Izikiel43 10mo agoHe is a researcher, so I would keep a bit of hope he is not the same as the regular business side of msft.
- bruckie 10mo agoHe was at Microsoft for a few months, and Google for 16 years before that. I worked pretty closely with him and his team for a bit at Google, and he seemed like a great human being, in addition to being a great engineer. I wouldn't read too much into a few-month stint at Microsoft.
- estimator7292 10mo agoImagine an alternate reality where companies can do things like create voice assistants without the absolute, unquestionable requirement to not only be profitable, but to have infinite compounding growth forever. We'd have working voice assistants by now. We're held up by the incessant need to game "engagement" and seek rent. In reality users just want a goddamn voice interface to their phone. Set a timer, remind me of x next time I'm at location y. Turn on the lights. Set home air conditioning to 72. Simple, trivial bullshit that has absolutely no monetizable worth. Because it's not profitable enough it's not worth developing at all. I'm half convinced the only reason siri and google assistant even still exist is solely and exclusively because the "other guy" has it. People argue innovation is impossible without capitalism. I argue innovation is impossible with capitalism. If your idea isn't profitable enough it's not worth any amount of investment regardless of how beneficial the idea might be.
- singularity2001 10mo agoWe'd have working voice assistants if it wasn't for Apple Monopoly banning all apps that are "competition to Siri" and "asking for too many permissions" because sandbox is not compatible with system integration.
- drob518 10mo agoKinda wish they’d bring back the “where should I hide a body?” Easter egg. Even if it wasn’t very capable, Siri could make me laugh.
- deleted 10mo ago[deleted]
- paxys 10mo agoI can't believe Apple still hasn't rolled back or majorly revamped AI notification summaries. It's been over a year since launch, and their primary use case is pretty much just sharing screenshots when it does something hilarious/inappropriate.
- theoldgreybeard 10mo agoWhen is Tim Apple retiring? Put an engineer in charge so they can fix Apple's rotting software.
- kulahan 10mo agoApple have said 2026 they'll be focusing only on quality improvements for software, I believe.
- recursive 10mo agoSounds like infrastructure week.
- killerdhmo 10mo agoSnow Leopard predates infrastructure week by a decade.
- bibimsz 10mo agoi wonder if this is related to the new appletv and speakers being apparently delayed
- clickety_clack 10mo ago“Hey Siri, call Kate”… “Calling Derek” (who I haven’t spoken to in 10 years).
- crooked-v 10mo ago"Siri, play podcasts" "Who is speaking?" The same person who has been speaking the last hundred times, dammit!
- kulahan 10mo agoThis is a serious question that's partially mine, but I'm asking because of all the comments here: Specifically, what HAS Apple done with Siri over 15 years? Are there new functions I don't know about? I... can't think of anything else they'd add, but I literally do not understand what their engineers and managers working on Siri were doing on a daily basis. They must have been writing some code at some point. Did it just never launch? Am I simply ignorant?
- baggy_trough 10mo agoThey changed it from responding to "Hey Siri" to just "Siri".
- andy_ppp 10mo agoMy theory that Apple are becoming Yahoo! keeps being proven true honestly. They have some massive advantages to build really incredible AI tools, infrastructure and hardware but they refuse to take it because they are fascinated by pointlessly making their UI look transparent.
- gbriel 10mo agoEveryone is struggling to create AI tools. And just because you don't approve of how they spend time to make their UI look "fancy", doesn't really mean much. You are not a normal user/customer.
- dpark 10mo agoThis sounds like you take slights toward Apple weirdly personally.
- buzzerbetrayed 10mo agoNot really. It more seems that you’re trying to make it personal.
- labrador 10mo agoIt's ironic because Microsoft took their eye off smart phones to make Windows 8 transparent aqua interface
- warbaker 10mo agoUnfortunate that JG is the fall guy for Siri. He was very successful at Google (e.g. BERT was published just after he left), but it looks like he wasn't able to save Apple from itself.
- ignoramous 10mo ago> Unfortunate that JG is the fall guy for Siri... From TFA Some of the teams that Giannandrea oversaw will move to Sabih Khan and Eddy Cue, such as AI Infrastructure and Search and Knowledge. Khan is Apple's new Chief Operating Officer who took over for Jeff Williams earlier this year ... Apple CEO Tim Cook thanked Giannandrea ... Seems like Khan is preparing the mothership for when he eventually assumes the CEO role from Cook.
- swyx 10mo agoodd, why not Craig? he's by far the popular pick + probably actually right leader for apple's ai phase
- ebbi 10mo agoCraig seems the type that would prefer to be closer to the tools than to be a CEO and manage all the other stuff that comes with it... The various interviews I've watched of his (and some of the leaked news) shows he's still quite deep in the tools.
- sgt 10mo agoHe's pure creativitiy, that guy! I think it'll drain his energy if he needed to do more admin stuff.
- layer8 10mo agoJohn Ternus is rumored to be the leading candidate for the next CEO. That would also make more sense in terms of age.
- jldugger 10mo ago
- williamDafoe 10mo agoIf it's not a new color, or a new switch between stainless, aluminum, or titanium, Apple seems unable to manage their tech stack.
- mixxit 10mo agoMeanwhile android demanding I use Gemini and then telling me my Google account has no Gmail to turn on Gemini to add a calender entry And then my exchange business plan telling me copilot is here over and over in a giant popup screen and then saying - it's not available yet
- cmiles8 10mo agoSiri (Apple) and Alexa (Amazon) both has massive wiffs on AI
- nkrisc 10mo agoSiri is great for setting timers as long as they aren’t for 15 or 50 minutes. Haven’t found anything else it’s useful for.
- mrdependable 10mo agoI tried Siri once when it first came out to play a song while I was driving and instead it started calling my ex-girlfriend. After that I swore it off for good.
- willio58 10mo agoI remember when I was a kid having an old iPod touch that didn’t support Siri and having to jailbreak it, find some weird poorly documented package in Cydia, and download that suspect package on my device while entering some (in hindsight) equally suspect servers into some really hard to find text field in settings that somehow™ enabled that old iPod touch use Siri. All of that to realize Siri was kind of boring. Funny thing is it’s been over a decade and it’s maybe 20% better than it was at launch. MAYBE. I don’t want to blame this one guy for all of that, but part of me can’t help but point at the leader and ask “you couldn’t have done better than… that?”
- drewg123 10mo agoSiri is almost comically bad. Just one recent anecdote: When discussing a Jeopardy answer with my wife, I say "Hey Siri, who was Pol Pot". Siri said, "OK, calling Scott". So it woke up my friend at 1am.. And if I hear another "I found this on the web", I'm going to scream. Siri is so bad it makes me want to go back to a pixel.
- discordance 10mo agoIt's always shocked me how dogshit Siri is. I run into this one every day: "Siri, play some music" "Sorry you will need to unlock your phone to do that" "Siri, play some music" <music starts playing>
- nerdponx 10mo agoI wish I could speak my unlock code so I didn't have to, you know, take my eyes off the road in order to play music or change my GPS destination or something like that. I'm not saying that way to solve a problem, but I refuse to believe that it has to be as bad as it is. The worst part is that it's still better than the alternative of leaving the iOS ecosystem. Apple is just so bizarre in general. I would say "nowadays" but I think they have always been like this. It took them how many decades to add a unit converter to the iPhone? And after all that time, they buried it in a menu in the Calculator app?
- tyre 10mo agoThis but the response to the second command is, “I found some web results…”
- nahikoa 10mo agoI had a nearly identical anecdote. I was driving my car to work soon I had moved to the Bay Area. I wanted to know what city I was currently on. "Hey Siri, what city am I in?" "Calling Ian"
- venturecruelty 10mo agoWas Ian able to help, at least?
- lvl155 10mo agoNo one dares to question Apple’s culture. Perhaps something is rotten inside. The same people who milked iPhone for 14 years. But they got Vision Pro a full year after Meta proved that’s a dead end. What a joke of corporate leadership.
- seec 10mo agoThe Vision Pro release is a complete joke. If Meta can't make it work for under 1K it's definitely not going to work if you only offer a slighter better product for 3,5K. I believe that they are so arrogant that they think Meta just suck when in fact it is just a product category still looking for a valuable use case to the general public. They market it for watching movies but most peoples already hate using headphones for too long and those are pretty comfortable nowadays.
- cadamsdotcom 10mo agoEven if you have all the money in the world, it's still crucial to put the right people in the right places.
- w10-1 10mo agoUnderlying this seems to be a hard engineering problem: how to run a SaaS within UI timeframes that can store or ferry enough context to tailor for individual users, with privacy. While Eddie Cue seems to be Apple's SaaS man, I can't say I'm confident that separating AI development and implementation is a good idea, or that Apple's implementation will not fall outside UI timeframes, given their other availability issues. Unstated really is how good local models will be as an alternative to SaaS. That's been the gambit, and perhaps the prospective hardware-engineering CEO signals some breakthrough in the pipeline.
- Mistletoe 10mo agoWhy does the title of this post keep changing? I think this is at least the third iteration of it now. I don't understand the HN obsession with titles. Now half the comments don't even make sense or people wonder why they keep talking about Siri.
- sodafountan 10mo agoWow, come to think of it, Siri failed; ChatGPT completely eclipsed the tool.
- gcanyon 10mo agoI know one feature Siri has added in the past fifteen years, because I always complained that Siri couldn't "text this photo to my wife." I would demonstrate to people that this doesn't work, complain about the lack of discoverability, and mention how with each new release of iOS I would try it again to confirm it still didn't work. Then one time, in a job interview of all things, (I'm a PM and was asked for an example of a product I liked or didn't like) I went into this spiel, and what do you know, Siri texted the photo to my wife. :-) So somewhere along the way they did add that feature, and apparently I didn't realize I had missed checking for it.
- bombcar 10mo agoSiri will sometimes describe a photo sent to me whilst driving, and be surprisingly accurate - "a child holding a can of soup" And then half the time it's "a screenshot of a social media post" - c'mon, read the damn text from the screenshot at least!
- nsbk 10mo agoThey definitely do change things and not always for the better. I used to start running/walking workouts from the Apple Watch telling Siri something along the lines of "let's get running!" or "let's go for a walk" to which it would react starting the right kind of workout. Since WatchOS 26 it tells me it doesn't know where I am and something about privacy settings, and that's it. Asking in robot mode it does work though: "start running workout"
- stavarotti 10mo agoI just want whoever is next in line to make Siri perform reliably and consistently. Not 70% of the time of even 90% of the time, 100% of the time for the limited uses cases that most (perhaps just me?) people use it for: - Call "person" - Call "business" (please don't say "I don't see so and so in your contacts" and on a second try, work) - Find "place" (while driving) - Define "phrase or word" (please don't say I found this on the web) - Set a timer or alarm - Check the messages (in a sane way) - Set reminders (this one surprisingly works well) - Use intents correctly (I just want to be able to say "play 99% invisible in Overcast") It doesn't need to do all the fancy things they show-cased last year. It just needs to do the basics really well and build from there.
- arresin 10mo ago“Calling Noh Replee…”
- fnordpiglet 10mo agoWhat a ducking surprise
- sgt 10mo agoSo the new VP for AI comes from Microsoft, after having only been there for a couple months? I'd be a little bit concerned about that, someone jumping ship so quickly. Also, Apple tends to recruit internally first for VP positions, which they didn't do in this case. I am sure they considered internal candidates though, but I feel they're getting a bit "desperate" in the AI game to show progress.
- jeffrallen 10mo agoI worked with JG. He was a good guy. Got no idea what happened at Apple, but I have nothing but good feelings from when I knew him 25 years ago.
- profsummergig 10mo agoAny other Indians/Hindi-speakers here think that "giannandrea" has an uncanny association with "gyanendra"?
- urlmanipulator 10mo agoSiri is doomed by Apple global strategy. Even if they really make it to work, it would work only in a few selected languages which is a parody of AI these days. They are living in 90s when only a few languages were important
- YouAreWRONGtoo 10mo ago[dead]
- ksec 10mo agoAs of now, 333 Comments so far and all of them are either on Siri or AI problems. I thought there is a much deeper problem, this is yet another Tim Cook hiring that didn't work. In fact I am not aware of a single SVP grade report to Tim Cook that came from outside of Apple were successful.
- piljoong 10mo agoSeven years leading AI at Apple, and Siri never meaningfully improved for most users. Leadership changes alone won’t fix that, but maybe this is finally Apple acknowledging that its voice/AI strategy needs a reset.
- tacker2000 10mo agoThe new guy they brought in has already jumped ship twice in the last 6 months, 16y at Google, then to Microsoft in 06/25 and now to Apple. Was the MS gig so bad?
- unsupp0rted 10mo ago"Hey Siri, stop playback" ... ... ... Siri disappears and song continues playing ... "Hey Siri, stop playback" Songs stops playing.
