She did that in iOS 6 if you asked her to tell you a story. She only did once in a while though. Most of the time she said you've probably heard it before.

Really? This is the first time it came up for me. Oh well :(

Yeah she talks about Eliza and stuff. But there are some weird things that I caught Siri saying that didn't make any sense.

I guess it was supposed to be a joke. I asked it again and it started speaking Latin. But Siri says alot of new stuff in this.

It's like saying a parrot talks. It doesn't.. It doesn't know what it's saying, it's just mimicking something it heard.

Siri doesn't speak, it just outputs words in a synthesized voice.

This is how it responded to me. I asked it first and got the cuddle response, and my mate was then like maybe if you asked nicely, and he got that response :/. I think its kinda funny actually. I wonder if one day, she will be able to understand the emotions we are experiencing from our voices and answers based off of that.

Siri does have some artificial intelligence. It outputs words in a synthesized voice, but how did the words get made?

Oh, I get it now. It makes sense. I'm guessing there should've been a comma after the word talk.

It's saying "Dude, I'm not a person... I am actually just a software algorithm that turns text to speech..."

Aah, it's clear to me now.

Wait... How can you be on wifi and on airplane mode?

Yeah, you can turn on Airplane mode and then turn on Wi-Fi, it's a quick way to save battery without having the cell signal still be on. :p

They really made an effort to make Siri better on this one, I love the Twitter integration and it no longer says, "I can't do that." as much.

Some new Siri fun...

Tell Siri: "I like your new voice."

You'll get several different responses. One is about not being ready for American Idol yet. Very clever.

Siri has a lot of new features in this, including the ability to read stuff back to you that she couldn't before.

Basically any information that it pulls up, all you have to say is "Read it to me" and it does.

You can say, "Show me a picture of" and it'll show you
