Siri Offering New 'Give Us a Hint' Responses Ahead of Tomorrow's Event

[bbfc]

I like Siri's sense of humour.

 

[bbfc]

Just a shame that it doesn't matter how slowly or clearly I say it, 9 times out of 10 Siri hears "give as a hint" or "givers a hint". Maybe it's just British accents, or maybe it's just me.

Maybe Apple should give some recognition bias to phrases that make grammatical sense?

Works fine with my accent, though I don't really have a strong accent.

[...] the company also updated Siri with a range of humorous responses when asked about the event tagline, "Hey Siri, give us a hint." [...]

You: "Hey Siri, give us a hint."

Siri: "Please confirm in-app purchase of 'hint' for 99 cents."

Me: Hey Siri, why didn't the iPhone 6+ include 1GB of RAM?

Siri: It doesn't need 1GB.

Me: But safari tab reloads...

Siri: It works as designed.

Me: So reloading tabs constantly is by design?

Siri: Yes.

Me: So it designed to run like junk?

Siri: Yes. And to get you to buy a new phone with 2GB of RAM.

Interessting lets see
0100 0111=71d=47h=G
0110 1111=111d=6Fh=o
0111 0100=116d=74h=t
0110 0011=99d=63h=c
0110 1000=104d=68h=h
0110 0001=97d=61h=a
Gotcha! Lol

We'll see tomorrow. Apple may flip a switch and make SIRI behave like this girl:

If you know this anime, you better hope it's not like that when Apple flips the switch (Siri would then answer all questions with just the word "Siri" (in a cute voice)) .

So of course, I had to ask "Why did the chicken cross the road?"

And got:"Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends on your frame of reference, according to Einstein."

Love it!

Oops.

Does Siri tell Tim and Jony what's in the event? They're disclosed (obviously), or is Siri's supposed privacy mean she can't possibly know it's the Tim Cook or the Jony Ive?

The new Apple TV will have an app store.

There were rumors of a much bigger remote - which actually seems to be a game pad hybrid.

Looks like Apple will be entering the Console space.

Siri: Yes. And to get you to buy a new phone with 2GB of RAM.

So that means there will be a phone with 2 GB of RAM (in order for someone to buy a new one with that).

The binary code says: Gotcha

"Riddle me this, Riddle me that!"

Nothing significant yet

Took me a minute since it has been a while since I converted binary, but you sir are correct, it says GOTCHA

This is what i got

 

[nouveau-apple]

How do people find out about this stuff?

No, it says "Gotcha".

Yes, I'm that guy.

 

[l00pback]

How do people find out about this stuff?

The initial invitation had printed on it "Hey Siri, give us a hint". So, naturally, people asked Siri for a hint. Fast forward a week-and-a-half, this conversation happens:
Frank: "Hey, Joe. Have you seen the latest Siri thing?"
Joe: "No, Frank. What is it?"
Frank pulls out his iPhone, and invokes Siri.
Frank: "Hey Siri, give me a hint"
Siri gives a new response Frank hadn't heard before.
Frank: "Huh, that's new. I better report it to MacRumors!"

...or something like that.

The amount of buzz and excitement there is out there for this event is really incredible. I hope Apple can cope with the live stream tomorrow because I have a feeling demand to watch live will be unprecedented.

The last time that happened, I just tuned into TWiT and watched them struggle with it aswell.

Haha! If only

 

[Dargoth]

01000111 01101111 01110100 01100011 01101000 01100001

means "Gotcha"

I love all the people who come on here to prove they can read binary. It's not that hard to type it into one of the various converters online, or write one line of python code... We don't need 50 people converting the same binary string over and over.

What do we need to update to official ios 9 update. Im currently on public beta and beta profile is installed.

Like the Gotcha hint. Reminds me of playing Bungie Marathon when we wrote down all the hex codes in the terminals and it ended up a zip file of a map called top hat. ;-)

Mm.

That's all I can say.

 

[sulpfiction]

"Siri..give me a hint"

"Gives me a hand"

"I don't understand"

"F off Siri"

"Eff often"

"I don't understand eff often"

Ugh! ill just wait for tomorrow.

Siri has been going drastically downhill over the last 4 months. Here's hoping for some significant improvements tomorrow.

I liked Siri mention that binary code and her saying 000111 lol.
