What happens when you ask, “Hey Siri, is Dick Cheney still alive?”

[Thomas Veil]

I’m curious if you get the same response I do.

She "won't answer that". But she will others. Creepy.

"I won't respond to that"

 

[Thomas Veil]

I know…isn’t that weird?

Especially because she WILL respond about Trump. I mean. Cheney was an ass, but Trump is reviled.

I have to credit Mrs. Veil for finding that. When the whole Liz Cheney thing was going on, I guess she got curious and asked Siri if Dick Cheney was still alive. I came home from work and my wife wanted to know why Siri wouldn't answer that question.

I tried searching Google for other examples of this, but even including Siri in the search phrase "Siri is Dick Cheney still alive", I come up with nothing. So as far as I'm concerned, Mrs. Veil is officially the one who discovered this strange quirk.

Hahaha. I wonder if there's a list at Apple of people that they don't want Siri to comment on.

Heh. If you ask "Is Donald Trump is a misogynist?" Siri gleefully responds with "Here's some links I found on the web, check it out!"

What about Jeff Bezos? Bill Gates?

I don't use Siri but I'm often ALMOST curious enough to turn it on for awhile... especially when it comes to things that Siri may have been, uh... coached to steer away from or provide noncommittal responses.

"I won't respond to that"

Same as I got. Wonder whats up with that?

The dude is basically Darth Vader so technically she can't really quantify it.

God...if he was Darth Vader, Trump must be Darkseid.
