Siri: I Couldn’t Find Any Suicide Prevention Centers
If youre feeling suicidal, dont rely on Siri.
Today, I decided to play around with my fiances new iPhone. Siri, the iPhones digital assistant is capable of handling all sorts of tasks: sending text messages, scheduling reminders, determining directions, searching Google for answers to questions, and using Wolfram Alpha to compute math problems.
Shes clever, though. Ask her if shes male or female and shell answer frankly: none. Ask her about the meaning of life and she cracks a snarky joke about writing a very long play in which nothing happens. Ask her about which religion is correct and shell mention something about being a Siliconist.

With 80 suicides committed daily and another 1500 attempts and over 32,000 people annually just in the USA....I think Apple should reconsider there lack of seriousness.....

if Apple included suicide hotlines?
I'm not sure about now, but it used to be if you ask her to have sex with you she finds "escorts" in your area.
Yeah I asked so what? Then my wife splashed a glass of water all over me, but that's another story.

I've heard that this is the iconic Siri question. It was the first one my friends and I asked when I first got my iPhone 4s. Sorry, no spoilers.

It's like expecting a Roomba to cure you of HIV.
