A second lawsuit over Apple's "virtual personal assistant" Siri has been filed in as many weeks. The new lawsuit, filed earlier this week in a Los Angeles District Court, mirrors one filed earlier this month in New York that claimed Apple over-sells Siri's abilities in its advertising.

"Apple's deceptive commercials diverge greatly from the actual functionality and operation of the Siri feature as experienced by Plaintiff and fellow consumers," reads a copy of the complaint seen by the Los Angeles Times. "Siri would either not understand what Plaintiff asked, or, after a long wait, provided the wrong answer."

The claims in this week's suit are similar to those from the lawsuit filed on March 12. Both assert that Apple's commercials and marketing campaigns imply that Siri is much more intelligent than it is, but that the assistant rarely understands what the users are actually asking for. Both suits seek class status in their respective states. (Incidentally, the New York suit cites an Ars article from 2011 examining Siri's data usage habits, but draws a different conclusion from the article than most readers. While many of you felt Siri didn't use much data at all, the lawsuit claims it as proof that Siri gobbles huge amounts of monthly data.)

When we recently surveyed Ars readers on their Siri usage, almost 30 percent of the 2,801 votes we received said that they no longer use the assistant because they tried it and didn't like it. Another 20 percent said they still use it but have complaints, while 22.5 percent said they still use it and like its functionality. Indeed, Siri is technically still in beta (and we felt that was an appropriate label when reviewing it), so perhaps Apple should consider laying off the marketing until Siri moves out of beta—or becomes more reliable for a larger swath of users.
