Siri's successor is in the works
-
Viv breaks through those constraints by generating its own code on the fly, no programmers required. Take a complicated command like “Give me a flight to Dallas with a seat that Shaq could fit in.” Viv will parse the sentence and then it will perform its best trick: automatically generating a quick, efficient program to link third-party sources of information together—say, Kayak, SeatGuru, and the NBA media guide—so it can identify available flights with lots of legroom. And it can do all of this in a fraction of a second
Programs writing their own code? What can go wrong? How hard can it be?
They say that it can generate its own code, but I am willing to wager that it just parses the input, separates it, classifies it, weights it and then attempts to put it all back together in a meaningful manner. I predict more amusing responses than Siri could ever hope to give.

Probably something like
if (sentence.contains("run")) system_execute(sentence.replace("run", ""));

I see potential for many future WTFs. :)

Or, they accomplish their goal, forget to write in the 3 laws and in short order it becomes sentient and kills us all.

I would consider that a major WTF. If I were still alive.
-
Or just fork() a new process, see! It generated a quick efficient program!
-
I'm gonna go with "generates a quick efficient program == generates some JSON / XML / whatever that their third-party services consume".
What? It looks like code! JSON has the curly braces and all, too!

This is what I noticed too. Seems they're primarily interested in image building. Most of their thinking: "How else can we raise coolness factor and thus the price when we are eventually bought off by one of the big guys... what? what product?"

Tsotchkes! They've got tsotchkes!

Filed under: what the heck is a tsotchk?
Tchotchke is a small bauble or miscellaneous item. Depending on context, the term has a connotation of worthlessness or disposability as well as tackiness
Now to find out what a bauble is...

I thought that was why Discourse was created?

Siri, can you lead me to the nearest café?
The pig go. Go is to the fountain. The pig put foot. Grunt. Foot in what? ketchup. The dove fly. Fly is in sky. The dove drop something. The something on the pig. The pig disgusting. The pig rattle. Rattle with dove. The dove angry. The pig leave. The dove produce. Produce is chicken wing. With wing bark. No Quack.
…Thank you, Siri.

Don't be ridiculous. It's not a Google technology.
Wait for whatever is coming for Android.

Hey, someone had to say it. But, I will accept the promotion to Captain, along with the pay grade increase.

With Shaq-Fu, of course.

But can you ask where to hide the roommate?

I can open a tab and speak the words "okay google when is jimmy fallon's birthday" and it automatically goes to this page.

But it is no help at all when I need to know my friend Jimmie Falun's birthday.
