My first encounter with Siri was back in 2011, when Apples voice-activated artificial intelligence was first released. <\/p>\n
I was completing university; the BlackBerry was still popular and I was one of a handful in my class with the new iPhone that had the robot assistant built in. <\/p>\n
The technology was pretty basic at the time: it struggled with some accents and the commands it could respond to were fairly limited. <\/p>\n
So early on Siri was something of a novelty, rather than genuinely useful. Six years later, BlackBerry is all but gone and the iPhone reigns, but what hasnt changed is Siris novelty feel. <\/p>\n
Its voice recognition has improved dramatically (I suspect even the thickest regional accent wouldnt trip it up), and Apple has added lots of new features, but I doubt most iPhone users take advantage of it regularly. <\/p>\n
