The first thing I do whenever I buy a new iPhone is turn off Siri, but after seeing this video I’m starting to question my decision. I really have zero reasons to use Siri in my life. I don’t need A.I. to create calendar appointments or search Google, those are simple tasks that take no time at all. I don’t need Siri to tell me the weather when all it takes is flipping open an app. There’s legitimately no reason I’ve ever found to use Siri, until now.
This angry message from some girl’s mom being read by Siri is perfect. Sure, it’s a bit profane, but it’s amazing. That deadpan Siri voice reading mom’s scathing voicemail about ice trays and orgies. I doubt there’d be anything interesting about it at all if we heard mom’s voice. It would probably just sound scary because mom sounds like she’s pissed as hell. But Siri doesn’t convey any emotion when reading, and that makes this particular voicemail spectacular. (via)
