Those iPhone Siri adds with John Malkovich are pretty creepy, right? I mean, it is one thing when my kids try to engage Siri in actual dialogue, but a grown up sitting alone in a semi-dark room conversing with computer code? What exactly are they selling?
Not that it wouldn't be nice to have a computer friend. It would love and support you unconditionally like a dog but could also keep your calendar, scour the internet for the answers to trivia questions, and compose emails. But Siri is not that gal.
Yesterday I had scheduled-- partially out of convenience and partially out of necessity-- a mammogram, my annual gyno exam, and the extraction of two wisdom teeth. A hideous day. Did Siri care?
What's my schedule for today?
You have 5 appointements for today [list].
Ugh.
I do not understand what you mean by "hug."
No, Siri. No, you really don't.
But she is reminding me to take my meds. So there's that.
