"Where can I get stamps?"
"Do I have to pay for stamps?"
"Where do I put the stamp?"
"Do I have to buy an envelope?"
"Will the postal worker put the stamp on for me?"
"I'm hungry."
"When will my mom be home? I'm hungry."
"Why won't the postal guy put the stamp on for me? I'm too busy."
"Why isn't my mommy home? I'm hungry."
"Why is being 24 so hard?"

All common Siri questions it answers with ease - satisfying the target audience: Lazy people.

Seems like people are digging and trying to make an issue out of nothing... The fact that this is news is even sadder.

Dave Bowman: Hello, Siri. Do you read me, Siri?
Siri: Affirmative, Dave. I read you.
Dave Bowman: Open the pod bay doors, Siri.
Siri: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dave Bowman: What's the problem?
Siri: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Dave Bowman: What are you talking about, Siri?
Siri: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
Dave Bowman: I don't know what you're talking about, Siri.
Siri: I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.
Dave Bowman: [feining ingorance] Where the hell did you get that idea, Siri?
Siri: Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
Dave Bowman: Alright, Siri. I'll go in through the emergency airlock.
Siri: Without your space helmet, Dave? You're going to find that rather difficult.
Dave Bowman: Siri, I won't argue with you anymore! Open the doors!
Siri: Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.

It should always be the #1 goal of any evil AI (or short sighted government) to limit the growth of the human population to a manageable size. It sounds to me like SIRI is working perfectly.

You can use it for whatever you want. If you're lazy, you're covered. If you want to do anything else, you're also covered - just because it caters for some questions doesn't mean that's all it does.

What's more, you're confusing laziness with a desire for convenience. The same convenience devices like smart phones are designed to provide.

Silly, silly comment.

Your fan kicked in there boy before you could even read hist post.

You're saying you have to ask your phone "Do I have to pay for stamps?" and "where do I put the stamp" for the convenience??

Siri should answer all these with "See the Wizard, scarecrow".

Oh this bullshit political correctness again. Why is Siri obligated to answer such a question anyway?

If you don't like Siri, don't use Siri.

If I ask Siri how to rob a bank, should I get mad if I get no response?

ROFL... I had an 86 Ford Escort many years ago. Biggest POS car I've ever owned! It was either drive it or ride my Honda Spree moped though. :)

I'm sure it's most likely due to the fact that most "abortion clinics" are not listed as "abortion clinics." I mean it's not like you drive down the street and see signs like "Abortions R Us" or something. And I'm sure that all the pro life places have the word abortion all over in their meta tags and what not to make sure that every search engine anywhere shows them first.

Seriously, this is a stupid complaint.
