Siri Offers Humorous Responses to Questions About Hit Game Pokémon Go

[AppleScruff1]

Hmm. I use her extensively for many tasks during my day.

I'm sorry, I don't understand "manly tusks'.

Siri is... fishing for likes too hard.

I call it impulsive smartass syndrome

@jclo My favorite.

Everyone knows Mew is boss! Once you go through the 10 step glitch in Yellow version and have a functioning Mew you felt like a Pokemon Master.

Doesn't work in my language. Sire thinks I want to know what a Pica chill is..

Yay, great, whatever.

You think so? I mean, these seem like randomized rote responses to a simple string search. A single developer from the software house I work for could probably throw something like that into a preexisting search framework in like forty minutes.

Indeed. Folks don't seem to understand the most basic things of how software and hardware is produced.Or even how a major corporation is run, e.g., they think that somehow every decision is run through Tim Cook, or that the people involved in signing up music talent for exclusives or signing a producer to make Planet of the Apps, are the same people who would be designing hardware.

Before anyone asks, yes, it is a slow day!

Consequences of the absence in innovation... the "best minds" at Apple are playing Pokemon Go.

Siri in her current state.. is pretty much useles.

It's been useless since day one. Nothing more than an exoensive sales gimmick.

Not counting all those people that get plenty of use from it.

 

[now i see it]

since iOS 10 will allow us to (pretend to) delete stock apps, it would be nice to be able to chuck Siri in the dumpster too... even if doing so only saves 1MB. But I know that'll never come true.

You've been able to disable Siri for quite a while now.

what a waste of energy instead of making it ACTUALLY USEFUL

 

[Stella]

I would be more impressed if they released a Macbook Pro 2016..

 

[picciano]

Siri is like a box of chocolates......you never know what you'll get and most of the time nothing.....

No, Siri WAS like a box of chocolates. See Mandela Effect.

 

[robjulo]

More parlor tricks. Google Now runs circles around Siri.

And designing watch bands!

TC must be playing it a lot...
Make Apple cool please....

How is this news worthy?

How is this news worthy?

I believe the first reply of the thread covers that.

 

[Mulekick]

I've been meaning to ask this for quite some time... I always see nearly the same articles over at 9to5mac.com. Today for example, we have Pokemon Go and Siri, rehire for health app, ECG patent, etc. So which site copies the other? Macrumors or 9to5?

Kind of like most news sites having similar news services about new things?

Never purchased the app or flappy bird. I have a life.

Have you ever asked someone an important and time-sensitive question, but receive only a goofy answer? Because it is really irritating. That's what Siri is to me.
[doublepost=1470960009][/doublepost]

...The most frustrating part is she even repeats what I ask for, but says she can't find anything or doesn't understand what I'm asking for! "Sorry Josh, I don't understand play album Billy Joel Greatest Hits." You just said it perfectly! Why don't you understand?...

This is so horribly infuriating. Is this actually hard to program??

You get goofy answers to your questions from Siri? What are you asking?

Siri is an absolute joke and Apple should be embarrassed how much better Google Now is. I don't get it: Apple spends millions and millions of dollars on things far less important than Siri. Go to Google's top ten Google Now employees and give them each a million dollar signing bonus and multi-million dollar salaries to come over to Apple and turn Siri into a service that's useful beyond setting countdown timers.
