IMO a huge input space is a negative feature. Either the input space should be explicitly limited and known, or it should be almost totally complete (which isn't really feasible). Attempting to cover a large input space without completeness just means that it's really unreliable for new inputs.
I think today’s LLMs more than fit the bill for the latter — most of what I might ask from Siri are easily answered more intelligently by ChatGPT. And I say that as someone who is overall quite skeptical of LLMs, and think they are way overhyped — this is a niche they could easily and competently fit.
