Siri knows about Apple's new iPhone event on Sept. 9
The invitations for Apple's upcoming Sept. 9 event were designed around Siri --? bearing what she would call "colorful wavey words" and the phrase "Hey Siri, give us a hint" -- and it turns out there's more to it than meets the eye, as the erstwhile digital assistant actually does drop some knowledge.
As is usually the case with Siri's canned replies, she can be a bit sassy when pumped for clues. "You're cute when you're desperate for information," she might say.
"You'll have to wait until September 9," begins another answer. "I bet you were one of those kids who snuck downstairs to open presents early, weren't you?"
"Look deep within yourself and you will find the answer," she says in a different quip. "Especially on September 9."
Elsewhere, Siri looks to Jay-Z for her lyrical inspiration: "Can you get a hint? No. You may, however, get a what what."

Keep going; there’s a Christmas present one.
Classy!
I've got this answer:
You'll have to wait until September 9. I bet you were one of those kids who snuck downstairs to open presents early, weren't you?

The specifics of the implementation, whether you'll speak to it from across the room or use your iPod Touch, iPad, iPhone or Apple Watch to speak to it will be one thing I'll be interested to see how they handle. Some of this has been attempted by Apple's competition since he spoke those words. Question is, was his vision more than the competition latched onto? Will we be surprised or will we simply say, "Oh, that's all it is? That's what everyone else is already doing."
Lighten up. Go figure out how to divide 0 by 0 because you haven't realized you don't have any friends.
Let's hope we get a new SIRI with an actual AI engine without the useless childish replies.
You'll have to admit that it is sort of a trick question to begin with which deserves a sarcastic response....unless, it is not a trick question because there is a specific location or real business nearby that has the word 'Hint' in it, which is the case here in SoCal where we get useful information and directions to said businesses. I think that qualifies as intelligence.
A sense of humor and actual AI engine are not mutually exclusive. You premise is a false dichotomy. Try again.
She also say "Why don't you check a rumours blog? That's what I do".
Classy!
That's the one I got.
"Look deep within yourself and you will find the answer. Especially on September 9."
... she can be a bit sassy ...
Ah yes. I remember "sass." She was popular was about 1 or 2 generations before "snark."
She was more creative and had an IQ about 30 points higher than "snark."

Jepp. Back then I enjoyed the hunt for easter eggs. Appears to have largely disappeared.
...and she could sing and dance... and was a sultry redhead to boot!
