Why You Shouldn't Make Siri Angry


Yesterday I had lunch with a friend, whom I'll identify as Pamela in order to protect her identity. Pamela disclosed to me that she's pretty sure that Siri (the new iPhone voice recognition technology) has it in for her.  There are some personalities that just don't hit it off and when these personalities are forced together for a period of time bad things happen.  This is my friend Pamela and Siri.  She demonstrated repeated attempts to get Siri to text, email, or call someone. Pamela's conversation went something like this:Pamela: Call Amy.Siri: Your music library is empty.Pamela: Find coffee shops.Siri: Dialing the IRS "Please Audit Me" department.Pamela: @#$%&@#!!!Siri: Calling your mother because I know you haven't talked to her in a month since she told you that your thighs looked heavy in that skirt.Pamela: Text Bob.Siri: Locating all nearby porn retailers.Then Pamela gave me her phone and I gave Siri a similar series of commands. Siri responded immediately and correctly to my requests.  I even told Siri to "find fun" and she came up with a list of 25 "fun" places nearby in less that 3 seconds and over half of them had a full service bar.So what can we learn from this?  Be nice to Siri.  She has a lot of power.
