siri on mac has the wrong person as "my info"

Just completed macOS Sierra installation and Siri works fine except that it thinks I'm my daughter. When I ask "who am I?", it gets it wrong and displays my daughter's card. When I ask about myself, it shows my card (even marked as "self") as if I was just another contact.


I checked in the Contacts app and I am correctly identified in "my card", nothing special on my daughter's card.


I can't find a way to change the card associated with "my info" like you can in Siri settings on iOS.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12), Mid 2012, 13 in, 512GB

Thanks for all the info in this thread. I was puzzled as well - going so far as deleting my contact, reinstalling macOS Sierra, disabling iCloud, toggling off and on Contacts. Turns out, it was using a contact card from my Google account (??), even though I only had "Calendar" selected in my Google account. I deleted Google from my list of Internet Accounts (as well as some others), and now it is FINALLY using the new card I created under iCloud. It's weird that it'd be giving so much priority to my Google account over my iCloud account, especially since I don't even have it enabled.


Now I must figure out why the high-quality voice won't download. She still sounds like a robot, and it's been a week since I installed and re-installed macOS Sierra.

GO to Apple Menu->System Preferences->Accounts, and get rid of all accounts besides iCloud ( you can add them back later). You can also try turning off Contacts under iCloud, waiting for a bit, and turning this back on. Then you may want to restart. This resolved my issue - i believe it was pulling old contact info from my Google account, even though Contacts under the Google account were disabled. Hope this helps - let us know.
