“Hey Siri, what am I doing tomorrow?”
“Hey Siri, remind me to put the bins out, oh, and then book that swimming lesson.“
“Hey Siri, ….”
It’s not always easy to tell when Science Fiction is reality.
We quickly get habitualized to technological innovation, to the point of taking it for granted.
Is it too far-fetched to expect Siri to be able to execute a few simple, on-the-go requests in aid of making my life better?
My Personal Assistant Siri; she is always with me, the ideal candidate in many ways.
She literally exists in the internet, knows everything about me, knows who I know and the tools I use to organise my life.
Except she doesn’t.
Siri is dumb, capable of carrying out a few scripted tasks, but insight and communication are not amongst them.
As I sit here barking orders at Siri, a conversation with my personal assistant is just Science Friction.
