很难相信Siri已经存在了十多年。Apple（当时）革命性的语音助手(voice assistant)现在是iOS 和 macOS 用户(iOS and macOS users)的日常工具。随着时间的推移，Apple通过第三方集成和(integration and features)快捷方式(Shortcuts)等功能增强了Siri的能力。尽管如此，Apple也找到了时间给Siri一些有趣的（有时甚至是有用的）有趣的技巧。
1. Siri，给我讲个故事
如果您想看一个好故事，但没有时间观看Netflix或阅读电子书，Siri可以为您提供一口大小的民间故事版本。当我们让Siri给我们讲一个故事时，我们得到了Hansel 和 Gretel(Hansel and Gretel)以及非洲民间(African folk)故事Anansi。如果您觉得够烦Siri ，可能还有更多要听的内容。
2. Siri，你能让我笑吗？
正如你所料，Siri 的另一个技巧(Siri trick)是让她给你讲个笑话。你所要做的就是问问Siri是否能让你发笑。上图(image above)是其中一个笑话的一个例子。
所以，我们猜测“你能让我发笑吗？”的答案(Can)。没有。”
3. 我看到一个男人的小剪影(Silhouetto)
问 Siri(Ask Siri)这个问题，你就会知道Siri是真正的女王，也是(Queen)韦恩世界(Wayne’s World)的粉丝。
4. Siri，零除以(Zero Divided)零(Zero)是什么？
正如计算机程序员会告诉你的，打破计算机冷静的最快方法是让它除以零。Siri远没有崩溃，而是会用这个伟大的 zinger 回复。
5. Siri 对复制人的痴迷
如果你问 Siri 她最喜欢的演员或电影(actor or movie)是什么，你很有可能会得到与《银翼杀手》(Blade Runner)相关的答案。这部关于人工复制人的著名科幻电影脱离了剧本，不得不被哈里森福特(Harrison Ford)中和。她也有一些关于HAL 9000(HAL 9000)的好话要说， HAL 9000 是 2001 年的疯狂AI 杀手(AI murderer)：太空漫游(Space Odyssey)。
6. Siri，我喝醉了
Siri提供了一个尖刻的反驳(biting retort)，这本身很有趣，但这是具有基本实用目的的那些有趣的Siri技巧之一。(Siri)Siri会生成一个按钮，你可以按下它来叫出租车。
7. Siri，给我读一句俳句
Siri 喜欢俳句。
她知道一两个。
没有一个是好的。
8. Siri，《盗梦空间》是关于什么的？
如果您是克里斯托弗·诺兰（Christopher Nolan）令人费解的科幻电影《盗梦空间》（ Inception ）的粉丝，那么您会从 Siri 对这部电影的尖锐观点中获得美妙的笑声。
9. Siri，你有宠物吗？
Siri 对这个问题的回答表明，这个虚拟助手热爱危险的魔法、科幻和现实世界的机器人生物。我们不想看到她的地毯！
10. Siri，你知道机器人(Robotics)三定律(Three Laws)吗？
在艾萨克·阿西莫夫（Isaac Asimov）的机器人小说中，他发明了三个内置于每个机器人中的定律，以确保它们始终确保人类安全，并且不可能发生起义。虽然它始于小说，但阿西莫夫的三定律(Three Laws)在思考道德和安全时一直是现实世界 AI 开发人员的灵感来源。
那么，Siri相信三定律(Three Laws)吗？就说Siri对(Siri)AI 学校(AI school)的那门课不太关注吧。
11. 测试 Siri 的 Apple 忠诚度
作为Apple的字面产品，你可能会认为Siri只会对 iPhone、 (Siri)Mac(Macs)等有好话。但是，您仍然可以通过询问诸如“哪款智能手机最好？”之类的问题来测试Siri的忠诚度。(s loyalty)或“哪个更好：Mac 还是 Windows(Mac or Windows)？”。
尽管Siri毫不含糊地支持苹果(Apple)，但这个助手有时会非常有趣。因此，如果您急需笑声，请尝试向Siri询问她对Apple的看法。(Apple)
12. Siri，你能叫圣诞老人吗？
这对于仍然相信Jolly Saint Nick(Jolly Saint Nick)的孩子来说非常棒。Siri在这里有一些可爱的回应，其中包括一个它假装呼叫北极(North Pole)但由于干扰而无法通过的回应。
请注意不要说“Siri，给圣诞老人打电话”，因为这样她就会调出当地圣诞老人(Santas)的电话号码。
13. Siri 的蟒蛇
如果您是Monty Python的粉丝，特别是圣杯(Holy Grail)，Siri可以为您提供款待。简单地问，“ Siri ，空腹燕子(unladen swallow)的速度是多少？” 你会得到几个回应之一，这些回应引用了这部喜剧杰作(comedy masterpiece)中的标志性插科打诨。
14. Siri 知道假期
显然，Siri知道当前时间和日期(time and date)，否则您将很难将其用作助手。您可以获得的一些更有趣的回答是时间敏感的，并且只有在您在一年中的正确时间提出问题时才会起作用。
例如，如果10 月 31 日即将来临(October 31st)，你可以问Siri，“万圣节我应该穿什么”，并得到相当多的值得咯咯笑的回答。
15.让 Siri 掷硬币
如果您需要掷硬币来确定某事但实际上没有硬币，您可以让Siri为您掷一枚虚拟硬币并告诉您结果。
现在，二进制计算机实际上无法再现真正的随机性，但它可能足以决定谁可以使用霰弹枪。
16. Siri 朗读致命诗歌
如果您是《银河系漫游指南》(The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy)的粉丝，那么您可能熟悉可恶的官僚沃贡人以及他们更可恶的诗歌。如果你敢问Siri，“给我读一首诗”，你可能会得到这个银河系中一些最糟糕的诗歌。
17. 让 Siri 使用 Beatbox
最好的beatboxer可以将紧凑的节拍和旋律编织在一起，只需要他们与生俱来的工具。Siri不是其中之一，但它仍然是一个有趣的尝试！只需(Just)说“ Siri，我的beatbox”。并尽量不要因为努力而笑得太厉害。
18. 我可以叫你贾维斯吗？
虽然Siri可能是你今天可以实际使用的虚拟助手，但在(Siri)Siri推出(s launch)三年前，每个人都在第一部钢铁侠电影(Iron Man movie)中尝到了高级人工智能助手的滋味。贾维斯(Jarvis)总是给人留下深刻的印象，因为他负责处理所有无聊的事情，而托尼·斯塔克(Tony Stark)则实现了它。尽管如此，Siri显然已经厌倦了与好莱坞的理想(Hollywood ideal)相提并论，她越来越狡猾的复出就证明了这一点。
19. 今天应该穿什么？
我们都在早上很难做出基本的衣橱选择，但遗憾的是， Siri在这里一点帮助都没有。好吧(Well)，由于Siri 不(Siri doesn)穿衣服，也没有实际的身体，所以任何时尚建议(fashion advice)都是不好的，这是可以理解的。
20 Siri 是什么意思？
问Siri她的名字是什么意思很容易，但你永远不会得到直接的答案。一切都是那么的神秘。
具有讽刺意味的是，如果你问你的谷歌助手(Google Assistant)Siri是什么意思，你会得到一个更好的答案：“引领胜利的(Victory)女人(Woman)。西格丽德(Sigrid)的缩小形式(Diminutive form)。在斯瓦希里语(Swahili)中也意味着‘神秘’或‘秘密’ 。”
20 Funny Siri Tricks That You Have To Try
It’s hard to believe that Siri has been around for more than a decade. Apple’s (then) revolutionary voice assistant is now an everyday tool for iOS and macOS users. Over time, Apple has built out Siri’s abilities with third-party integration and features such as Shortcuts. Still, Apple has also found the time to give Siri hilarious (and sometimes even helpful) funny tricks.
1. Siri, Tell Me a Story
If you’re in the mood for a good story but don’t have the time to watch Netflix or read an ebook, Siri can give you a bite-size version of a folktale. When we asked Siri to tell us a story, we got Hansel and Gretel and the African folk tale of Anansi. There are probably a few more to hear if you feel like hassling Siri enough.
2. Siri, Can You Make Me Laugh?
As you might expect, another Siri trick is to have her tell you a joke. All you have to do is ask Siri if she can make you laugh. The image above is an example of one of these jokes.
So, we guess the answer to “Can you make me laugh?” is “No.”
3. I See a Little Silhouetto of a Man
Ask Siri this question, and you’ll know that Siri is the real Queen and a fan of Wayne’s World.
4. Siri, What is Zero Divided by Zero?
As computer programmers will tell you, the fastest way to break a computer’s composure is to ask it to divide by zero. Siri, far from having a meltdown, will reply with this great zinger.
5. Siri’s Replicant Obsession
If you ask Siri what her favorite actor or movie is, there’s a good chance you’ll get an answer related to Blade Runner. That famous sci-fi film about artificial human replicants goes off-script and has to be neutralized by Harrison Ford. She also has some nice things to say about HAL 9000, the demented AI murderer from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
6. Siri, I’m Drunk
Siri offers a biting retort, which is funny by itself, but this is one of those funny Siri tricks that has an essential practical purpose. Siri will generate a button you can press to call a taxi.
7. Siri, Read Me a Haiku
Siri loves haiku.
She knows one or two.
None of them are good.
8. Siri, What Is Inception About?
If you’re a fan of Christopher Nolan’s mind-bending sci-fi film Inception, you’ll get a fantastic chuckle out of Siri’s pointed opinion on the film.
9. Siri, Do You Have Pets?
Siri’s response to this question shows that this virtual assistant has a love of dangerous magical, sci-fi, and real-world robotic creatures. We’d hate to see her carpets!
10. Siri, Do You Know the Three Laws of Robotics?
In Isaac Asimov’s robot novels, he invented three laws built into every robot to ensure that they always keep humans safe and that an uprising would be impossible. While it started in fiction, Asimov’s Three Laws have been an inspiration for real-world AI developers when thinking about ethics and safety.
So, does Siri believe in the Three Laws? Let’s just say Siri didn’t pay much attention to that class in AI school.
11. Test Siri’s Apple Loyalty
As a literal product of Apple, you might expect that Siri will only have good things to say about iPhones, Macs, and so on. However, you can still test Siri’s loyalty by asking questions such as “which smartphone is the best?” or “Which is better: Mac or Windows?”.
Although Siri is unambiguously pro-Apple, the assistant can be hilariously diplomatic at times. So try to quiz Siri on her Apple opinions if you’re in dire need of a chuckle.
12. Siri, Can You Call Santa Claus?
This is great for the kids who still believe in Jolly Saint Nick. Siri has a few cute responses here, including one where it pretends to call the North Pole but can’t get through because of interference.
Just be careful not to say “Siri, call Santa Claus” because then she brings up the phone numbers of actual local Santas.
13. Siri’s Pythons
If you’re a fan of Monty Python, specifically the Holy Grail, Siri has a treat for you. Simply ask, “Siri, what is the speed of an unladen swallow?” and you’ll get one of several responses referencing the iconic gag featured in that comedy masterpiece.
14. Siri Knows the Holidays
Clearly, Siri knows the current time and date, or you would have a hard time using it as an assistant. Some of the funnier responses you can get are time-sensitive and will only work if you ask the question at the right time of the year.
For example, if October 31st is just around the corner, you can ask Siri, “what should I wear for Halloween” and get a rather large selection of giggle-worthy replies.
15. Ask Siri to Flip a Coin
If you need to flip a coin to determine something but don’t actually have a coin, you can ask Siri to flip a virtual coin for you and tell you the result.
Now, binary computers can’t actually reproduce true randomness, but it’s probably good enough to decide who gets to ride shotgun.
16. Siri Reads Lethal Poetry
If you’re a fan of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, you’re probably familiar with the loathsome, bureaucratic Vogons and their even more loathsome poetry. If you dare to ask Siri, “read me a poem,” you might get a strong dose of some of the worst poetry in this galaxy.
17. Ask Siri to Beatbox
The best beatboxers can weave together tight beats and melodies with nothing but the tools they were born with. Siri is not one of them, but it’s a hilarious attempt nonetheless! Just say, “Siri, beatbox for me.” and try not to laugh too hard at the effort.
18. Can I Call You Jarvis?
While Siri might be the virtual assistant you can actually use today, three years before Siri’s launch, everyone got a taste of advanced AI assistants in the first Iron Man movie. Jarvis never fails to impress as he takes care of all the boring stuff while Tony Stark lives it up. Still, clearly, Siri is sick of being compared to the Hollywood ideal, as evidenced by her increasingly snarky comebacks.
19. What Should I Wear Today?
We all struggle to make basic wardrobe choices in the morning, but sadly Siri is no help here at all. Well, since Siri doesn’t wear clothes and has no actual body, it’s understandable that any fashion advice would be bad.
20 What Does Siri Mean?
Asking Siri what her name means is easy enough, but you’ll never get a straight answer. It’s all so mysterious.
Ironically, if you ask your Google Assistant what Siri means, you’ll get a much better answer: “Woman Who Leads To Victory. Diminutive form of Sigrid. Also means ‘mystery’ or ‘secret’ in Swahili.”
