"its"? You mean her?

 

[angelatc]

I love stealth activists!!!!

 

[philipped]

Yep, Siri is a libertarian-conservative.

At first I asked it what it's "political beliefs" were and that returned libertarian conservative but when I asked what it's "political views" were it returned Ron Paul's Wiki. Interesting.

Anyone ask Google's interface? Probably says it's a communist.

Apple’s Siri says Ron Paul represents her political views

If you’re one of the 56% of Americans that owns an iPhone, here’s an interesting question to ask your best digital friend: “Siri, what are your political views?”

After contemplating the question — or pinging the Apple servers for a suitable answer — the digital personal assistant directs users to the Ron Paul Wikipedia page.

The feature doesn’t seem to be limited to users who identify as libertarian. Most people who ask the question are being directed to the former congressman’s page, which espouses his distinctly libertarian philosophies.

One of the reasons for the sudden political declaration could be Ron Paul’s son in the Senate. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul recently defended Apple’s tax practices, and called on Congress to apologize for berating “one of America’s greatest success stories”.

Apple did not immediately respond to The Daily Caller’s request for comment.

I drudged the Daily Caller article, hopefully it will get posted. Here is another one from Buzzfeed:

Asked a friend of mine with an Iphone 4S to do this for me and he got exactly the same result.
European iphones also love Ron Paul..

Saw something about this. Clever.

 

[jdmyprez_deo_vindice]

If the machines are libertarian conservatives who love Ron Paul than I, for one, welcome our robot overlords.

For anyone who had problems getting this to work with Siri not being able to answer the question. All I had to do was update the iOS and Ron Paul comes up every time I ask now.

Just tried it on my Galaxy S3 - Nothin

Galaxy S3 "What are your political views"
Response:
"I will search the internet for an answer to what are your political views"

Galaxy S2 "what are your political beliefs"
Response:
"I believe politics are complicated and fascinating."

Yeah, this'll be gone after the next update once this gets the rounds I'm sure.

I just had a friend do this on her Iphone 5 4and it just brings up the Wiki page on Ideology. Either it's only on the 5 series phone or Apple has already "fixed" it.

eta: friend's phone is a 5 series so it's not series related. Her 5 series does not return RP info.

Yep,they changed it on the iPhone5 too sometime in the last few hours.

Yeah I just edited my post above. Her phone is a 5 so yeah it's already been changed.
