A Chat With Siri.

I just read a very amusing article in MacLife Magazine.

If you have a new iPhone 4S, you know that it comes with a virtual assistant named Siri. You can ask Siri to remind you to make a phone call at a certain time, you can ask her to calculate a 15% tip, you can ask her to find you a cab.

But Siri also has a sense of humour.

Here are some of the questions MacLife asked Siri, and her answers are in bold type. Try them yourself, it’s hilarious:

Q: The new iPhone has been selling great, but to be honest, which smartphone is best?

A: You’re kidding, right?

Q: What is your favourite colour?

A: My favourite colour is… well, I don’t know how to say it in your language. It’s sort of greenish, but with more dimensions.

Q: Know any jokes?

A: Two iPhones walk into a bar… I forget the rest.

Q: Knock, knock?

A: Knock, knock. Who’s there? Terence. Terence who? I don’t do knock-knock jokes.

Q: How much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

A: Don’t you have anything better to do?

Q: (Whistles) You’re pretty talented.

A: Stop.

Q: Testing one, two, three.

A: Mission Control: I read you loud and clear.

Q: Guess what?

A: I’m not sure we have time for this.

Q: Let’s get married.

A: We hardly know one another.

Q: Talk dirty to me.

A: Humus. Compost. Pumice. Silt. Gravel.

Q: Beam me up.

A: Energizing…

Leave it to Steve Jobs to give a device a sense of humour.
