Key Takeaways

  • Siri has stock responses created by humans, making her better at humor than AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Grok.
  • Siri doesn't use AI for humor, but she has funny responses to questions like "What are you wearing?" or "What do you think of Google Assistant?"
  • Siri's funny responses cover a wide range of topics, from technology to pop culture, making her entertaining to interact with.

Siri was a big deal when she first arrived on the scene, allowing us to talk to our iPhones. However, with the advent of AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and Grok, Siri seems a little long in the tooth now.

However, while the latest AI apps may be able to do a lot more than Siri can, there's one place where she can still hold her own. As yet, AI isn't very good at humor; just try asking ChatGPT to create some original Christmas cracker jokes if you want to see how truly bad it is. Siri may not use AI to be humorous, but she has plenty of stock responses that were written by a good old-fashioned human, many of which are genuinely funny.
