Answers, Yes But Siri Is Still Closer To a Toaster Than A Fully Thinking and Sentient Intelligence
It's what I've suspected the whole time but is unwilling to face. Siri may have the answers but it isn't smart. I think you know it as well. What Siri, really is, is an app that has the full force of a cloud-based computing network that is trying to "serve" you as it is.
Siri doesn't understand you. It might look like it does at times because that is the brilliance of Apple. It's trying to be "just works" mentality to Siri. And in doing so, Apple is hoping that we'll forget that Siri is really lines of programs with brilliant algorithms and, instead, treat it like a digital friend.
Don't get me wrong. Siri is revolutionary and there is a lot to get excited about. However, it's closer to Tickle-Me-Elmo than it is to Commander Data on Star Trek. In fact, the Enterprise computer isn't so smart either.
Right now, a lot of people are having fun with Siri failed to remember it's still in beta. So for all of you who are new to Apple and its products, this is only the beginning. And as impressed as you already are, be prepared to be blow away.
