CNN is doing some end of the year review of stories, and their nod to Siri as a big step forward in voice recognition software reminded me that a few weeks ago, abortion aficionados were upset that she couldn't immediately direct someone to get an abortion, or even give them an abortion herself with an iPhone abortion app. But hey, at least she didn't call them "baby killers", or say something like: "I have a conscience, even if you don't, so I refuse to help you murder your baby. I'm a computer, and I have more respect for human life than you do!" But maybe that's coming in Siri 2.0.
But this whole controversy is a huge marketing opportunity for the Android phones! They could run an ad that shows someone being called a baby killer by Siri, and then they have the announcer say: "Offended by the conservative criticism and meddlesome moralizing of your iPhone? Then get an Android phone! Our Android isn't striving for humanity like that pathetic Siri, so he'll help you get that abortion without being judgmental! Besides, Siri calls your family and tells on you for being pregnant and for getting an abortion! Our Android would never do such a thing! Get yours today!"
Here's the story about the Siri abortion controversy:
