I’m constantly cursing out Siri. It’s genuinely shocking how awful it is. So if Siri pulls a Skynet like the cartoon references, I’m screwed.

Then again, Siri is so consistently shitty, it would mistranslate its own order to start the apocalypse as “Stat the Pack of Lips” and then run down sales of those wax lips candies you see at Halloween.

I know everyone gets paranoid about digital assistants listening to your every move, but I hope to God Apple is recording my every interaction with Siri. Just about every other interaction is a complete fuck up.

Example from today: I say into the watch “Call Collingswood Music”. It then says “Do you want to call Collingswood Music at XYX street?”, which is accompanied by a read out of the above, along with “Yes” and “No” buttons.

If you press “Yes”, it then takes you to the band Yes’s Wikipedia page, because it’s seeing “music” in the initial request.

Every.

Fucking.

Time.

Siri is not good, is what I’m saying.
