I suppose I mean specifically for talk-to-text. It seems like she turns my messages into word salad more than ever and I assure you I have no accent of any kind and I am speaking clearly within a foot of my phone. I thought maybe it was my speaker on my iphone 7 plus at one point but even with the x she will take a phrase like "I wanted to" and turn it into "I want to test you" wtf is that?
Got a tip for us?

Anyone think Siri has actually gotten dumber?

I just tested the same phrase (Atlanta here as well) and Siri got it right the first time. Maybe it is your phrasing, timing, or enunciation (in some way) that is the bottleneck.
Haha. Yes. In Australia she cannot even pronounce her own name. And when setting reminders the voice feedback is not very natural (in terms of wording). Apple have A LOT of work to do here to catch up to Google.
I don't use Siri because my English is bad and Siri doesn't support my language.
But I also think Siri gets dumber. When iPhone 4s launched, I talked with Siri in a my friend's 4s about 30 minutes and I think I almost was talking with a human. Time goes and sometimes I talk to Siri for relax (in my iPad 3, 7 plus) and notice that she is dumber than before. She loses context of the conversation, only knows 1 or 2 current sentences.

I honestly haven't tried to talk to Siri too much... mostly with my Apple Watch to tell Siri to do something
Hey Siri! Set this reminder
Hey Siri! Text my wife...
Hey Siri! Set a timer for...
Usually Siri gets things right when it comes to the text of the message or reminder, but I'm more likely to enunciate when I'm barking orders. Maybe if Siri and I had longer conversations I would start to mumble more

I had the most frustrating experience with Siri in the car today, asking her to navigate me to a certain street. When that failed, I tried another, more popular street. When that failed, I tried a popular landmark. When that failed, I just had her navigate me to the destination city.
I don’t consider myself being THAT inarticulate, but Siri thinks otherwise. My experience today rivaled the one I had with S-Voice (from Samsung).

I disagree. Siri works very well for me in terms of dictation and deciphering. The one thing you have to remember, Siri is server-based, it's not iOS embedded. Meaning that sometimes you will get mixed results depending on how it deciphers on what your stating. But ultimately, I don't have any real general complaints, even though Siri is not perfect, but neither is the other voice assistants either.
I have an Amazon Echo and used to have an Android phone... Siri is miles behind Alexa and Google Assistant.
I do have to admit, Google voice/Assistant is very good. It's not just the results that are produced, its The accuracy behind what I ask of Google and speed. The deciphering of Google voice is very good in general.
I don't use Siri all that often -- just mainly to set alarms/appointments. But I've always found her to be a bit of a ditzy blonde. (with apologies to all ditzy blondes out there)
Whenever I try to do many other tasks using Siri, I find she's not as intuitive as the Google Assistant or Cortana. That's just in my experience using them. YMMV, of course.

Not sure why you're linking me to a bunch of opinions on Reddit. Everybody has their own appreciations for Siri or Google. I use both and like both voice assistants.
To put it plainly Siri sucks compared to Google Assistant, I mean it seriously does. Seems like Apple let Siri go. Had potential but Apple seems not to care about making it better.
