My name is Siri. I really can’t wait until some other app controls your iPhone

COMMENT: “Siri, set my alarm for seven in the morning,” my friend Keith said as we walked home after a night out.

“Why would I set your alarm?” I shrugged. “Set it yourself.”

He looked up, laughed and repeated into his phone, “Siri, set my alarm for seven.” A quick beep answered.

That was in October 2011, days after Apple launched the iPhone 4S, equipped with a more powerful camera, iCloud – and an artificially intelligent personal assistant named Siri.

Just like that, Silicon Valley marketers had stolen my name.

“What’s the weather tomorrow?” “How many marbles can fit in the skull of a whale?” “Has Angelina Jolie had any work done?” These are real questions people have asked within two minutes of meeting me since then.
