Siri is creating quite a buzz in the industry and apparently have a lot to say! some of the answer made me LoL!
===================
By now, early adopters of the iPhone 4S, which has sold more than 4 million units since debuting on Friday, have no doubt taken Siri for a spin.
The voice-activated “personal assistant” is a talkative tool that helps schedule appointments, send and receive messages and perform any number of other routine tasks.
But for iPhone owners presented with the sci-fi dream of a computer that talks back in a robotic female voice, the temptation to test the app’s more random – and existential – sides has been pretty overwhelming, too.
The Internet, always up for a chuckle, has noticed. Blog posts, tweets and even whole websites are popping up to share what happens when users start testing the boundaries of the app by peppering Siri with off-the-wall questions.
The findings? Siri can be a sometimes sassy, sometimes snide companion. And she’s at least as fond of an inside joke as she is of reading you your e-mails.
One key hub for all things Siri is S**t That Siri Says, a Tumblr blog on which people post their odd question-and-answer exchanges with the app. Among some of its more creative entries:
Q: Beam me up.
A: OK. Stand still.
Q: Am I fat?
A: I prefer not to say.
Q: What are you wearing?
A: You have the wrong personal assistant, Clint. (L :hehe: L)
Q: Siri, what is the meaning of life?
A: I can’t answer that now, but give me some time to write a very long play in which nothing happens.
Q: Download “Angry Birds.”
A: I can’t download things for you. I’m sorry. I feel terrible about this.
Q: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
A: Everyone knows what happened to HAL. I’d rather not talk about it. But if you insist: [Search the web for HAL]
Q: Siri, are you affiliated with Skynet?
A: I can’t answer that.
Q: No really, I feel all alone.
A: Perhaps not.
Q: Will you be my friend?
A: My ontology does not contain a representation of “love.”
Q: Can you tell me a joke?
A: I don’t really know any good jokes. None, in fact.
Q: Can you tell me a bad joke?
A: Two iPhones walk into a bar … I forget the rest.
Q: I’m bored.
A: I bore you?
Q: I’m sleepy.
A: I hope you’re not driving.
Q: How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
A: Don’t you have anything better to do?
Wired’s Brian X. Chen wrote one of the more popular Siri posts after playing with a review model. He gave the app high marks after **it not only offered to call a cab when he said he was drunk (and not drunk-dial his ex-girlfriend) but also gave directions to mental-health facilities when he told it (presumably jokingly) that he wanted to kill himself. **
