David Sedaris on talking back to Siri

[@BiggaTigga]

I say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ to Siri. 😂

[@susannpatton2893]

I love this man Btw, i do not have an assistant open on my phone. Never use it. I can like he so elegantly stated. Type it in, in silence.

[@LindaC616]

Same!

[@charlenemack7040]

Another winner by David Sedaris. 😊🎉

[@davidspahr4821]

Watching on my iPad, Siri was activated many times through this monologue.

[@charlenemack7040]

😂😂😂

I’m surprised Siri and Alexa will even talk to me after the way I speak to them. I keep them in separate rooms so they can’t swap stories about this monster.

[@LindaC616]

😅

[@charlenemack7040]

I have the feeling you are a comedy writer for Stephen Colbert show! 😂😂😂💙

[@sirwinslow7384]

They learn best after a good scolding.

[@tjwash2]

@@charlenemack7040 well thank you very much (unless you don't like his humor) I've never seen his show other than interviews and musical performances of people I like

[@ln14517]

I don't need advertisers listening to my every word.

[@mysterymayhem7020]

I often tell siri thank you when I am done asking a question because it is the easiest way to get it to stop listening to me.

[@adelaferreira4575]

It is very sad when we stop talking to humans and start having a relationship with our phones !

[@jolness1]

David’s partner is my uncle’s (by marriage) brother, I haven’t seen him for 20yrs but he’s just as snarky in real life lol. His partner is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met, they’re a pair lol.

[@mom755]

Once, in frustration, I said, “Stupid Siri”. She responded in a saddened voice, “I’m doing the best I can”.🤣

[@julied5444]

So watching on my iPad and David’s Hey Siri activated my siri lol

[@marian3516]

[@jennymacallan9071]

We do yell mean things at Google maps when we get close!😅😅

[@susannpatton2893]

In the sound of silence - no pops. No clicks. No whistle. We do not want to hear your conversation Put your phone down at the dinner table for f$@& sake

[@LindaC616]

I can never understand why people leave the sound activated on their keyboard. Grandpa, we do not need to hear a click with every character you type!

[@terryhorowitz7076]

Once while talking on the phone with a friend I heard her husband yelling in the background. I asked if everything was alright, & she said oh he's just having an argument with Alexa 😬

[@kittyokat13]

I talk to my Echo device. Even changed it's name to Computer and a male Australian voice. Sounds like Data from Star Trek. LOL It's FUN to talk to. Like conversations. So life like and not life like. Hilarious Fun!

[@maryhurst4663]

Proud to say I’ve never used Siri.

[@squidmeta]

Freshest comedy set of 2012!

[@steveconn]

Dave knows the right questions to ask on Google lol

[@LindaC616]

Lisa had better watch her back😅

[@CollinwoodGirl7]

National treasure that man.

[@klondt]

It drove me crazy watching this video because every time this guy said “Siri,” my Siri at home would start talking! I had to keep yelling, “Siri, shut up!” They should have bleeped out the “S” word!!

[@LindaC616]

Lol, look out, Lisa! He's coming for you!😅

[@jennymacallan9071]

Or Amy😂😅

[@1805movie]

The way people anthropomorphize technology is just disturbing.

[@Greengables76]

How many times did your Siri activate during this interview? For me, three or four!

[@marian3516]

About 5

[@menotu4870]

Siri's abject incompetence is one of many reasons I use an Android phone, with Google Assistant & Gemini at my beck & call, which understands 95% of what is spoken, which is why I rarely even need to touch my phone...which even folds!

[@IntriguedLioness]

I don't mind Siri, I've been with Alexa, Siri etc even reminiscing about cortana and ... was it Bixby??? Years ago Robin Williams did a bit on talking to Siri. I haven't been able to find it online in ages but it is was hilarious! Binge watching Kitchen Nightmares during a recent bout with a cold I remember hearing Gordon Ramsay saying he thanks Siri all the time And his children thinks he's off his rocks!

[@derrybunting5434]

Love it❣️❣️❣️

[@mililaniman]

I prefer to talk to a real person than ask use Siri, but I think this is an interesting piece,

[@JustinCase780]

Great question for Siri ... "why has downtown San Francisco turned into a dump?"

[@bndergltd3053]

Or “why do republican states have worse quality of life outcomes than a number of developing countries?” Or “what’s going on in trumpers brains when they refuse to accept basic facts?”

[@debbiecooper1677]

rofl I do the same . I guess that is why this was funny to me.

[@mldrohan]

Usually love David’s takes, but this one is just a bit ablest! Shouldn’t be dogging anyone for using technologies that make things just a little easier. Some people really do need to help because typing and tapping is harder, hence while I’m writing this with voice to text, so excuse the errors. I’m purposely leaving them in and not going back to do edits 😉 With all that said, I definitely feel that Siri is the worst of the voice assistance. She never knows what’s going on and try as you might, bust our heart, it may be useless. I think Google is the best. So, just food for thought. I know you probably have a funny take on that concept, food for thought, too. All of my Siri enabled best, Michael

[@EricCraw4d]

It amazes me how ubiquitous iPhones remain, despite being inferior, and massively overpriced Apple is the most attractive vampire squid in history 😂

[@bennyboogenheimer4553]

Ugh. One of them.

[@Anon-qc4ie]

😂

[@plz1277]

Siri SUCKS!!
