Siri - entertaining Trivia

[Loren Beach]

Being late to the technical party, having just traded in a 2012 Toyota for a '25 Honda, I am getting used asking Siri questions as I drive along, My iPhone screen and controls are mirrored on my vehicle dash display, and it's nice doing texting and voice calls while driving. (Without reaching for a phone or taking eyes off the road.)
Today I asked Siri to tell me all about the Olson 34, and got a recitation of the basic dimensions, designer, and builder - Ericson Yachts!
Nothing very Earth-shaking for you youngsters, but a fun use of technology. Siri is evidently drawing info from Wikipedia and other sailing sites. Next, I shall ask about Ericsonyachts.org... ! Hmmm, I wonder if she has heard of Sean?

"Ready About!" as the saying goes

Glad your initial experience was positive. Just wait until Siri starts pulling things out of her digital posterior.

(Actually, that's not so much an issue with Siri per se, but it certainly is with AI.)

FWIW, Siri cited a web source for the info. I like "her" although my wife is getting a little bit jealous.

It's a like/hate relationship for me, Loren.


Sometimes guilty of this.
