    That's a great idea, and it seems like it would be possible to flag wrong answers just by saying things along the lines of "wrong answer" or "that's wrong" instead of needing something onscreen.



    More databases/connections and the ability to learn from user feedback would both be great. I'd also eventually love to see Siri available more of the time by voice instead of having to press the key to activate. Obviously there are potential battery and CPU issues but I would think there's some possible way they could design for users to get Siri's attention while running other apps.



    How about adding Siri to appleTV as well instead of requiring a remote?

    *EXPLOSION, EXPLOSION* "Siri! Turn it?" *EXPLOSION, EXPLOSION* "Turn it do-" *EXPLOSION, EXPLOSION*



    *ENGINE REVVING* COME ON, WE GO- "Siri, stop the movi-" -HE CENTER OF THE COMPLEX!



    Yeah. That'll work.

    It's cool when a company can make technology more human by throwing in some humor.



    I wonder who's job it is to put the jokes into Siri's responses. That's be an awesome job.



    I can imagine his supervisor giving him a performance review, "I see you goofing off and telling jokes all day that make all your co-workers laugh. Excellent job!"

    Um.....for those who are saying it's not AI...HOW CAN IT NOT BE?



    Unless.....they actually have a whole bunch of children working 24/7 responding live. Kind of like a live Yahoo answers. That must be true! OMG!

    Could they embed a sound on the tv(with appletv), not audible to humans, that would make siri ignore the sound coming from the set? I guess loudness would be a factor still. Just talking out my a$$. I don't know if that's really feasible.

    I wish Apple could have gotten Douglas Rain( voice of HAL 9000) and Paul Bethany ( voice of Jarvis in Iron Man) to provide alternatives to the current voice of SIRI. Maybe even the actress who mimicked Majel Barret-Roddenberry as the computer of the Enterprise in the Star Trek reboot.

    Many people have difficulty displaying human intelligence.

    You're half right. Add Siri to the AppleTV and add a mic to the remote. That gets around TS's gigantic font problems
