Impertinent iPad

#1 Post by Bob78164 » Sun Feb 26, 2017 11:38 am

I wanted to check the weather so I fired up Siri and asked, "Surely it's not raining today?"

She answered, "It is raining, and don't call me Shirley."

It took me a minute but I figured out the problem. I'd left my iPad on Airplane mode.

Alexa on my Amazon Echo after hearing, "Surely you can't be serious," replies, "I am serious and don't call me Shirley."

Cortana on Windows 10 replies, "I am serious. And... I'm Cortana."

Google says, "Here's a matching video."
