A New York man is suing Apple for falsely advertising Siri on the iPhone 4S. The plantiff, Frank Fazio, claims that,
"For example, in many of Apple's television advertisements, individuals are shown using Siri to make appointments, find restaurants, and even learn the guitar chords to classic rock songs or how to tie a tie. In the commercials, all of these tasks are done with ease with the assistance of the iPhone 4S's Siri feature, a represented functionality contrary to the actual operating results and performance of Siri."
Fazio also said that Apple's Siri ads are "fundamentally and designedly false and misleading."
While I personally think Siri technology is pretty amazing, I do believe voice control is just a gimmick. Siri is inanimate. She's a piece of hardware. Do you really expect her to hear everything perfectly? Your best friend says, "what?" to your statements a million times. Why do the rules not apply to Siri?
Do you love or hate Siri?
