Computer like in Star Trek for sure

 

[VictoryHighway]

Mine will be set to “Majel” 😪

If only we could use Majel’s voice.

 

[vegetassj4]

I'm calling mine Clippy

or maybe Tim Cook

 

[StyxMaker]

Just renamed her Lilitu

 

[Night Spring]

Thank god, finally! because of my speech impairment, I could never get Siri to recognize it when I tried to say "Siri." Now I can set it to something I can say easily.

Anyone test R word yet? Asking for a friend.

 

[Queues]

How about…”rock god”

I have the opposite problem. Siri always thinks I’m calling her whenever I say “silly” (eg when I ask the cat “are you silly?”)

 

[NMBob]

What was Steve Martin's dogs name in The Jerk?

 

[JosephAW]

Name Siri Grovel.

Even with Hey Siri, I still wait for her to respond with her “Mhmm” before asking the question because many times she doesn’t wake up.

 

[drumcat]

Not ideal, but how cool would 'hey yoda' be?

 

[JordanCautious]

Gonna have so much fun with this lmao

 

[GrayFlannel]

I renamed her long ago.

 

[Macalway]

Click bait? I started reading this and was excited, seeing its potential, but no there's the caveat.

I hate this sort of thing

 

[Surf Monkey]

Interesting. I was anticipating this being a part of the keynote. No one was reporting it or anything but it I just had a gut feeling that the “AI” integration would allow for renaming Siri.

This isn’t that. Disappointment.

 

[mdriftmeyer]

Thinking of, "The Jerk," with, ‘‘Hey! Sh**head! Volume seven." /s

 

[vicviper789]

I'm gunna rename it to "Dear FBI"

 

[lbmdk1]

I will use "General von Klinkerhofen"

 

[pdaholic]

I’ll ask Siri what she would like to be renamed, pretend like I didn’t understand her, then rename her something that sounded nothing like what she said.

 

[electric]

I hope I can use profanity. Hey "dumb b*tch", turn off the lights.

Hahaha, I was thinking the same. But instead, I hope I can use profanity. Hey "dumb Jo*ish", turn on your intelligence.

 

[breather]

Hello Computer

 

[Johnny907]

“Hey idiot child” will be fun everywhere but in public with my actual children 😂

 

[uacd]

Ok I am gonna stand out and won’t rename her. Siri deserves some love, she is a veteran who was the first of its kind! I still remember how hyped up people were that she could make calls for them in their cars. Surely, she didn’t age well, but who does?
