No, it works on pre-programmed inputs. It makes no decisions on its own, it just looks for keywords and keyphrases in your spoken input.Isn't SIRI basically a 1st Generation AI?

Am I the only one that thinks this feature is kind of "toyish"?
Setting alarms, finding restaurants, knowing the weather is nice but it's just a verbal google search engine or an audio macro. And it can't even read back my email? That's something I need on the road.
And there's just too much unnecessary verbal confirmation on Siri's part. It repeats everything too much. Just a couple of beeps indicating it understands would be ok then go do what you were told.
I predict after 3 weeks you guys will use this just as much as you use FaceTime now.
Thank you. Apple again innovates and shows the world the possibilities when combining great hardware with amazing software.
Meanwhile, their competitors offer half-assed somewhat similar features, then say "Look, our phones kinda run Flash and have a superer duperer processor!"
Just for all posts like that:
I'm pretty sure Steve would've find that funny. He wasn't afraid of death at all.
Don't let the downranks get you down. I feel the same. Seems gimmicky at best, something of a novelty that will see a spike in usage and then will slowly fade away.
If it's tied to server infrastructure rather than local software, it also becomes a liability down the road where if the feature is not so successful, Apple might just close up shop, making the feature completely unusable. It also means it's prone to network outages and disruptions.
It's a better form of voice control no doubt, but it's not even close to what I think people's expection for it are. It's not "Star Trek" on your phone that's for sure, at best it's a better Dragon Dictation tied to Google that can also pipe some commands in select apps.
If only the iphone had integrated navigation, similar to android's....
Just got it and doesn't work for my middle class Scottish accent. Recognises like 3/10 of the commands I speak.
Damn you to hell Apple, you suck and fail big time. American is not the centre of the universe.

I don't think you could be more wrong.
Facetime let people talk face to face... It seems cool and has its uses but is a novelty in most cases...
However with Siri you would never have to open up a wikipedia app, Google something, set an alarm or reminder or timer or look something up in the dictionary... Unless it was too noisy to get a reading or I wanted privacy I would never create an alarm manually again.
It has many uses and the novelty will wear off but the usefulness wont.
And u think Siri is going to recognize a high class Scottish accent?
Scottish doesn't even sound like English. My dad was Irish and People had a hard time understanding him... At least u are not Welsh. Hehe
One week everyone complains about the 4S being junk, next week people will call it the best phone ever.
The problem is that it is slower at doing those tasks than just doing it the old way. That's the way I see it anyway, it's not a question of wrong or right, it's my opinion. Why bring in Facetime ? I didn't bring that up.
