So the integrated Siri program that is in all the new 4S models will say some funny things if you ask the right questions. Matt Legend Gemmell, a software designer from Edinburgh, got a new Apple Inc. iPhone on Friday and asked it: “Who’s your daddy?”
“You are,” the phone answered, in the voice of an authoritative man.
Earlier, he commanded: “Beam me up.” This time, the iPhone responded: “Sorry, Captain, your tricorder is in Airplane Mode.”
The phone takes verbal commands and questions, and responds with computer-generated speech.
Real humans are responding to this alarming breakthrough by asking their iPhones ridiculous questions.
The good news is, Siri has a sense of humor.
Nicky Kelly, a 40-year-old from Suffolk, U.K., asked her iPhone: “Tell me a joke.” It answered: “Two iPhones walk into a bar…I forget the rest.”
So there is a bit of comedy you can have with your iPhone 4S if you are lucky enough to get one. So try and it and see what it says.
