Siri gets slower and more unusable with each update

I was just wondering if anyone in the community has solved the “Siri gets worse and worse each update” problem. I’m on an iPhone 12 Pro using iOS 16.2 and Siri is officially useless. She cannot send messages, cannot do web searches, she can’t turn on lights, she cannot set timers, cannot play music, cannot create playlists, cannot set reminders. She literally cannot do anything and after 5 seconds of “working in it” she says “there was a problem, try again later”

From my research about this problem it’s been around for years and Apple doesn’t seem the least bit interested in making Siri usable again.
