Summary:
If it is 1:00 PM, and I ask Siri "Set alarm for 4:45", I expect that to set an alarm for 4:45 PM. However, Siri sets it for 4:45 AM, which means I miss my alarm at 4:45 PM if I didn't look closely at what Siri did. Even if I say "Set alarm for 4:45 TODAY", it will set the alarm for 4:45 AM the following morning.

It would be nice if, when AM/PM are not specified, Siri would choose the next likely time, or prompt the user to specify AM or PM to resolve the ambiguity.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Activate Siri
2. Say "Set alarm for 4:45"
3. Look at the alarm that Siri created.

Expected Results:
If it is before 4:45 PM, then I would expect "4:45" to mean "4:45 PM".

Actual Results:
Siri sets alarm for 4:45 AM the following morning.

Version:
iPhone 6 with iOS 8.4
