Where would we be without Siri, Apple's chirpy personal assistant who lives in your phone and beatboxes on demand (seriously, try it if you haven't already)?
In truth, we'd probably be no worse off. Chatting to your mobile phone screen when you're anywhere other than your own home is still some way off being deemed socially acceptable. And if you have a Geordie accent he/she's pretty much worthless to you.
But we wanted to see just how good a life coach your little robotic pal can be when called upon in times of need. Can Siri sort your sh*t out for you?
We decided to aim all of our queries and complaints in the direction of an iPhone microphone, and this is what happened.
Siri unfortunately isn't much accustomed to your LinkedIn account..
To us, this sounds like a sly dig...
A Sat Nav AND a friend!
Okay it's time to address the love life...
Okay let's talk about yours...
Evading 101 from your 'assistant' Siri, here
Knocked back by a not-even-that-clever robot...
Pretty helpful advice in fairness, particularly after that awkward exchange
Help a brother out...
No Siri, I'm serious..
10/10 on this one...
To be honest you'd have been well within your rights to just tell me to f*ck off here...
Hold me...
No avoiding the question this time...
Well thanks, but anyway...
I don't even have a garden. Anyway I've just had some awful news...
You're no fun. Let's see how you deal with this bombshell...
Sadly true. All this disjointed conversation is making me tired...
I apologise for the random stream of thought but...
You really aren't as helpful as you advertise yourself to be, are you? I have one more issue we need to discuss...
Siri always has the last word...
