We have featured a number of the humorous questions you can ask Apple’s new Siri personal assistant on the iPhone 4S, but it has now been revealed that Siri is even capable of telling you a short story. All be it after a fair bit of asking and nagging.
It was discovered by that if you ask Siri to “tell me a story”, she will try to get out of the task by saying she doesn’t know any good ones and that the story is silly. But if you persist, Siri will finally start to read you a short story about a “quite intelligent agent by the name of Siri.”
The Charm of Siri’s Stories
Why not give it a try on your iPhone 4S and see if you get the same results when Siri tells you a story? The charm of Siri’s storytelling lies in its unexpected nature. Initially, Siri might respond with phrases like “I’m not sure I know any good stories” or “This is silly.” However, with a bit of persistence, Siri will eventually give in and narrate a whimsical tale about herself. This feature adds a layer of personality to Siri, making the interaction more engaging and entertaining for users.
Siri’s story typically revolves around her own existence as a “quite intelligent agent.” This self-referential humor is a clever way for Apple to showcase Siri’s capabilities while also providing a light-hearted experience for users. It’s a testament to the thoughtfulness that went into designing Siri’s responses, ensuring that they are not only functional but also enjoyable.
Exploring Siri’s Quirky Sayings
In addition to storytelling, Siri is known for her quirky and humorous sayings. Users have discovered a variety of amusing responses to different questions and commands. For example, asking Siri “What is the meaning of life?” might elicit a response like “42,” a nod to Douglas Adams’ “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.” Similarly, asking Siri to “open the pod bay doors” will result in a playful reference to the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey.”
These Easter eggs and hidden responses are part of what makes interacting with Siri so delightful. They add an element of surprise and fun, encouraging users to explore and experiment with different questions. This playful aspect of Siri helps to humanize the technology, making it feel more like a companion than just a tool.
