Siri works just fine for me. She’s not Jarvis from Iron Man, but she is amusing and reasonably useful – especially when you don’t want to type a search in while your hands are busy or full. Siri has a ways to go and will no doubt continue to evolve. While you wait for her to to get better instead of expecting a miracle out of the gates, have some fun with her. Ask her to open the pod bay doors. Also ask her who’s on first. And – if you are a real sci-fi fan, you will appreciate her response if you ask her to sing you a song.
I am a Christian. I choose to take this cartoon for what it is - a joke. I think God does have a sense of humor, but it’s not a cartoon I personally would have created. For my own set of values, it very nearly crosses a line of respect I have for the name of Jesus Christ. However, I am not Mr. Hilburn’s judge. That being said, I wonder what would have been the response if the cartoon had featured an icon from a religion other than Christianity? If you are going to lean on the concept of free speech, you must acknowledge that it works in all directions, not just the ones you want it to.
She will “sing” Daisy just like HAL9000 in 2001:A Space Odyssey. Guess she’s not much of a Trekkie – but arguably should be!
