Snide, sassy Siri has plenty to say (iphone 4S)

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. **

Some of those are funny, I saw a few youtube videos on Siri and it looks fun. Although, I am not planning on getting an iPhone anytime soon.

Re: Snide, sassy Siri has plenty to say (iphone 4S)

hey that’s a pretty cool app!! LOL at what people ask it..and she sure is witty at times :smiley:

Siri reminds me of a desi comic picture i came across about it’s use :cb:

Re: Snide, sassy Siri has plenty to say (iphone 4S)

Aww Shak’s faith in BB is admirable! :flower1:

blue: people just like to push limits. Its human nature so its only natural they wanted to do that with Siri. Wonder who wrote Siri’s lines lol.. witty..

cdg: wait for iphone 5 :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: Snide, sassy Siri has plenty to say (iphone 4S)

It was annoying though tbh :hinna:

But I don’t know BBM seems more faster and user friendly for some reason! And my phone doesn’t break when it falls, with me that is an achievement..

Saby I pray someone gets you a BB and you will see its awesomeness!

Re: Snide, sassy Siri has plenty to say (iphone 4S)

^ I had BB for a long while. Both before and after iphone came along. But apart from BBM and mail thing, I couldnt get used to it despite numerous attempts to like it.

BBM is a good thing to have though.

Re: Snide, sassy Siri has plenty to say (iphone 4S)

Why does that sound like ‘‘I couldn’t figure out how to use it’’

:smiley:

Re: Snide, sassy Siri has plenty to say (iphone 4S)

Wait till you start using iMessage’ing. BBM could never do anything but text, this new Apple messaging is photos and everything, over 3g AND wifi.

Re: Snide, sassy Siri has plenty to say (iphone 4S)

got the 4s, love it.

Re: Snide, sassy Siri has plenty to say (iphone 4S)

I’d get the iphone if it wasn’t touch screen (there is no keypad to type or txt etc) I just can’t be bothered to chat or txt with touch screen. It kinda feels hard :frowning: or could be I’m not used to typing on touch screen.

BB is just too small - as in screen and so many keys on the keypad all stuck in a small space.

Re: Snide, sassy Siri has plenty to say (iphone 4S)

^ na keys se khush na keys k baghair khush :nahi:

Re: Snide, sassy Siri has plenty to say (iphone 4S)

I just want a simple keypad nothing fancy like a BB and none like iphone :snooty:

Re: Snide, sassy Siri has plenty to say (iphone 4S)

iam happy with my bb 9900 but i wouldn’t mind buying the iphone 4gs if it had the bbm app :@:

Re: Snide, sassy Siri has plenty to say (iphone 4S)
