Assuming you’ve seen the Apple commercial with Samuel L. Jackson talking about date night, this may be of interest. One of the phrases I’ve wondered about since I first saw the ad was when Jackson talks about putting “the gazpacho on ice.” Siri then asks if he’d like a reminder, and Jackson replies with a quip like Siri is a real person. Charming.
Anyway, what I’ve wondered is if Siri really is that good at rendering speech to text? (There’s a brief shot of Jackson’s iPhone 4s with a screen asking to confirm making the reminder about the gazpacho.) Well, via John Gruber, the answer is no.
Not that I expect anything to come of this, but what constitutes false advertising? That seems like walking right up to the line, at the least.
