You’ve
probably figured out by now that Siri doesn’t respond well to certain
directions, but at least she sometimes has a good sense of humor about it. If
you tell Siri to “open the pod bay doors” – a command that HAL 9000 famously
refused in “2001: A Space Odyssey” – Siri will retort in a number of ways, such
as “That’s a rather insensitive thing to say to an intelligent agent” or simply
“Sigh.” And of course, if you ask for her advise on what's the best phone,
she’ll ask you if you’re kidding. But no matter how many times you ask her
about her religious views, she will insist that humans have spiritualism while
she has siliconism. Not only is Siri good for reporting the weather – she’s
also quite the entertainer.
Siri can get offended if
you compare her to HAL 9000.
