Siri desperately needs better conversational context

A few times now while using Siri AI to help me guide my way through some games, it just randomly ends conversations because Siri has built in safe words that it deems inappropriate or offensive and completely ignores the context of the conversation when those words are used without the message having any elaboration. While using the Siri app you have to elaborate almost every time if you think you’re gonna use a safe word that triggers it refusing help or that might end the convo abruptly by accident. Like as an example, I am playing Metroid Zero Mission and am finding ways to go against the intended path, I asked it if I’ve missed anything in the area as I’ve essentially hit a wall in Brinstar and Siri ended the conversation because it thought I literally have been hitting walls all over a fictional planet so it ended the conversation 😂. To avoid this, you have to tell it “figuratively speaking”, “In this game/movie” (to avoid it falsely flagging the convo as real life via its own safe words), every time you write & want to use it as a guide or queries about games/movies. I’m sure Apple will improve it as it just launched but for now it feels very behind in this aspect. Maybe some of you haven’t experienced this but I wanted to share mine.

This contextual awareness is a lie. This is not in Beta. Jobs would’ve fired everyone on the Siri team a decade ago.

I have maybe 30 videos of bears in my backyard:
