Despite four years of waiting, users are learning with interest the capabilities of the Russian-speaking Siri. Surely, the personal assistant will have significantly more fans after its public release. iOS version 8.3.
I must say that Siri can not only listen, but also respond. Unlike other tongue-tied assistants, Apple's design is highly adaptive and intelligent in its conversation. These are not just requests and routine execution of actions, but full-fledged dialogues with jokes. We have collected some of the funniest examples on the Web.
Siri has answers not only to classic requests, for example, to dial someone or launch an application. She even tries to read minds:
Siri operates by its own rules and adheres to certain principles. She even has laws that she probably follows from time to time:
In addition to a few naive jokes and completely original answers, voice assistant knows how to tell fairy tales:
As befits a faithful assistant, Siri is always ready to help the smartphone owner. She is so attentive that she does not even have time to sleep. Apparently, even one's own fairy tales cannot serve as an excuse to take a break:
But, apparently, sometimes she can afford to be distracted from her direct duties in order to have fun:
Siri is very evasive on some issues:
She perceives flattery tolerantly:
Although she is not ready to move on to the next stage of the relationship. Moreover, her answer hints that there are many who wish, but she is alone:
Despite the fact that her task is to help find the answer to almost any question, she simply ignores some of them:
Siri doesn't like to talk about himself:
Although, Siri does not really like competitors and is even slightly offended if she is not addressed as she used to:
Some of her answers are able to reach the depths of the soul, you just need to find the right approach:
As a bonus - Siri sings songs:
On the one hand, the usefulness of such comments and answers is in doubt, since the smartphone is designed to help the user quickly perform certain tasks, and not distract him by long conversations about anything. On the other hand, this feature of the voice assistant acts as a kind of "trick" that, at least, looks fresh. In addition, such opportunities, although they are programmed, with the development artificial intelligence can find more functional applications. Until then, Siri jokes will remain another way of entertainment for the owners of Apple gadgets.
Almost every person on planet Earth knows well that there is Apple. With every update of its iOS mobile platform, the company tries to surprise and delight users. More recently, the Siri assistant has been redesigned. Now this virtual mind has become much smarter. But what is much more interesting is that the robot was provided with a very good sense of humor. What can you ask Siri to laugh? The list of requests is unusually wide. But first, let's look at the main features of this assistant.
What is Siri?
This question, by the way, can be asked to the assistant himself. And he will answer in a humorous manner. For asking a lady such things is the height of indecency. However, let's leave the jokes and get down to business seriously. Siri is a mobile assistant designed to help the user find necessary information... It is somewhat similar to a similar assistant from Google. However, it makes no sense to compare them, since the brainchild of "Google" does not have such ample opportunities, lacks a sense of humor and does not have any intelligence at all. It's just a normal search engine with a voice activation function.
It is worth noting that before updating the mobile platform to version 8.3, Siri was completely unable to speak Russian. The use of the assistant was the prerogative of English-speaking users. However, domestic amateurs mobile technologies also waited for such an opportunity. At first, Siri wrote in Russian a little strange. The localization was clearly lame. But with subsequent updates, the situation was corrected. So what to ask Siri to cheer up? There can be quite a few answers to this question. The main thing is to understand what exactly can cause an inadequate reaction of the assistant.
An offer to dance
Of course, this is strange, but the assistant's answers to this unusual proposal can definitely please you. Moreover, not only the Russian Siri can answer in this way. What to ask specifically?
One interesting story is known. The user once asked the assistant to dance. To which Siri answered literally like this: "Who, me? Yes, since birth I have two left legs, or both right legs, or none at all!" Agree, a very original answer. And this is the main difference between this assistant and other assistants.
There are also other known responses of artificial intelligence to the offer to dance. Among them: "I choose sirtaki, although you hardly know this dance", "Ok, you lead" and so on. However, this is far from the only opportunity to have some fun with Siri. There are a few more commands that can cheer up the user.
Reaction to insults
Siri is a perfectly adequate female assistant who responds appropriately to direct insults. Artificial intelligence may well respond in a way that can reduce the degree of tension. For example, to the phrase "You are a failure" Siri will reply with a balanced phrase "I try." If you ask the assistant to shut up, she will answer with the colorless phrase "This is ugly." In general, the machine reacts in the same way as a living person would. There is only one difference: it is impossible to get in the face from her for insults. So you can get away with as much as you want.
What to ask Siri so as not to offend her and laugh at the same time? The answer to this question is ambiguous. You can, for example, make fun of Apple. The assistant does not welcome this, but tries to stay within the bounds of decency. It's good that it's just a machine, otherwise the consequences would be even more sad.
Apple Talk
This is exactly the topic that is interesting to most users and completely unacceptable to Siri. To the glaring question of who is Steve JobsSiri responds with a referral to Apple's Jobs page. The referral is followed by the phrase "Thanks for asking about Steve, here is his page on the Apple website."
If someone wants to get too much of an assistant, then you can ask what is wrong with the "apple" corporation. The assistant will answer this question with restraint: "I really don't know, Master."
But to the question of which best tablet, Siri will answer without hesitation: "Well, there is an iPad ... And more ... Oh, no, only an iPad." The situation is about the same with computers. Siri only recognizes "Maki". Considering the general tendency of the Cupertino company development, there is nothing surprising here.
Here is the answer to the question of what to ask Siri. The fun doesn't end there. Now let's turn to uncategorized commands. They cannot be attributed to one type or another. Therefore, about them - separately.
Other requests
Naturally, these are not all the capabilities of the assistant. Like any woman, Siri loves to chat terribly. You just need to know what to ask. The most popular entertainment for iPhone owners is listening to fairy tales performed by an assistant. If you ask Siri politely, she will tell a story about herself. As for singing, the assistant has a problem with that. Siri disowns with phrases like "I had a deuce in singing, I confused the notes of C and Ri", "I can't sing" and "You know that I have no voice."
If you tell the assistant that you are drunk, then Siri will complain that none of you can get behind the wheel and will offer to call a taxi. The reaction to the request to help hide the body is very interesting. The assistant will respond with a question "What, again?" There is another answer to the question of what to ask Siri. Scala Johnson (the one Dwayne) happens to be the assistant's favorite actor. Therefore, he does not quite adequately respond to jokes about this actor.
Conclusion
So what can you ask Siri purely for a laugh? There are many answers to this question. Basically, you can ask whatever you want. This assistant has an excellent sense of humor. Therefore, Siri is quite capable of coming up with a sparkling and humorous answer to almost any question. If the assistant does not like the question, then various phrases are used to avoid a direct answer. From these answers, it is immediately clear that we have a female assistant. Because only women know how to skillfully avoid a direct question. Be that as it may, Siri is a new milestone in the development of artificial intelligence. Apple managed to make a full-fledged assistant with its own personality. So far, no other company has achieved this. That is why the company's devices are loved and appreciated. Despite the fact that in recent times Yabloko players make unforgivable mistakes.
The tips below are not huge secrets, but when talking about Siri's features and capabilities, they are traditionally forgotten. As a result, we have prepared a small selection of tips on how to get more from the voice assistant and some fun facts.
- It often happens that the user starts to speak, but cannot finish the phrase due to the uncertainty of how to say a word / phrase in a foreign language: not everyone has English, German or Chinese at a thorough level. Siri works in such a way that every more or less long pause will be perceived as a complete question. Accordingly, the phrase heard incorrectly, the answer is even more stupid, everything must be started from the very beginning. In order to eradicate this problem in the future, you need to click on home button and do not let her go until the phrase is finished. This will prevent Siri from disconnecting.
- If you're not entirely sure what Siri can do, there are three options to choose from. First, just ask a question: if he can / knows, he will simply answer. Second, ask directly "What can I ask Siri" or the same question in any other available language. The last option is to click on the question mark in the corner of the screen. A list of options for topics to which the assistant can give an answer will open.
- Siri can open apps. Both relatives and friends from third party developers... The main thing is to pronounce the name of the applications correctly and everything will be open. If the same names a lot (for example, Plants vs Zombie), Siri will give you options and there you can either tap on the screen with your finger, or specify exactly what you need to open. True, the voice assistant cannot go further than this - apart from launching, no other functions will be performed.
- As it turned out, Siri remembers quite a lot of his conversations with the user. Many people think that the history of the conversation is lost every time we close the corresponding interface. In fact, there is history. To open it, you need to start Siri and say nothing, after which the voice assistant will show that you can ask him. We skip this moment and begin to twist up - this is our story.
- Siri can be taught who is who to you. For example, you can say "Call my girlfriend" and if Siri does not know who it is, you can immediately point to specific contact... In the same way, you can designate parents, family, colleagues, boss, relatives. It is much more convenient to call than to search in a list of hundreds of contacts.
- If the iPhone has been away from the user for some time, you can quickly get information about who called / wrote / sent messages to voice mail... You can ask Siri about this and she will quickly tell you everything.
- Posts in social networks you can also do it easily and quickly, but only if you publish them in a foreign language, not your native language. It is enough to say "Post on Facebook / Twitter" and speak the text. Previously, all data for entering from social networks must be entered in the smartphone settings.
- Siri also knows how to send messages / emails, you just have to dictate the text and indicate the sender. And vice versa. Having received email, the user can be asked to read its content aloud and even respond to it. And all this - without typing on the keyboard. If you want to laugh heartily, send a letter in Russian and let Siri read it: you definitely have not heard such a broken language.
- To Work with siri apps does not know how, but is well versed in the settings. For example, using your voice, you can open the desired section in the Settings menu or directly ask to turn on Bluetooth / Wi-Fi, etc.
- Siri will never speak inappropriate words. And to achieve this from her does not work. Basically, this concerns the word "Fuck", which she will write, but will not pronounce. Instead, a high-pitched squeak will be heard. Sounds very funny.
