Apple’s Siri Not So Smart

In the latest lawsuit from a society that has built its nation on lawsuits, a class action against Apple has sprung up alleging that Siri, the voice assistant feature found on the company’s latest iPhone, doesn’t work anywhere near as well as Apple’s TV ads suggest.IPhone 4S buyer Frank Fazio says the software feature simply doesn’t work like it does in Apple’s television advertising.

And now he’s suing Apple in a Californian court.”Promptly after the purchase of his iPhone 4S, he realised that Siri was not performing as advertised,” Fazio’s complaint states.

“For instance, when he asked Siri for directions to a certain place, or to locate a store, Siri either did not understand what plaintiff was asking, or after a very long wait time, responded with the wrong answer.”
