A twelve year old kid got a rude awakening when he asked an iPhone a simple question ‘how many people are there in the world ?’
Given Apple’s legendary technology. he presumably was expecting an answer with several billions in it –
Instead, the automated voice recognition system, SIRI, told the boy ‘ to shut the fuck up, you ugly twat ‘.
According to reports in the Telegraph, Charlie Le Quesne was out shopping with his mum.
They were visiting a Tesco store in Coventry, UK, when he started playing with a store demo iPhone, which then started answering back.
Apparently SIRI can be programmed with the users name, so when you ask it a question it replies to you in a nice personalized tone.
Someone in Tesco or Apple obviously took it a stage further, adding their own seasonal greeting.
Could catch on !
