Siri: The Best Conversations With The iPhone 4S Virtual Personal Assistant (TWEETS, VIDEO)

The Huffington Post     First Posted: 10/15/11 05:42 PM ET   Updated: 12/15/11 05:12 AM ET

Siri, Apple's much-touted "virtual personal assistant," has got people -- and iPhones -- talking.

Even before the iPhone 4S was released on Friday, reviewers who had early access to Apple's latest iteration of its top-selling smartphone were getting a kick out of sharing their conversations with Siri.

"How much wood can a woodchuck chuck?" and "Where do babies come from?" are a couple of the questions The New York Times asked Siri. And yes, she gave pretty good answers.

Joshua Topolsky of This Is My Next posted dozens of shocking, hilarious conversations between himself and Siri. You can check out Topolsky's best talks with Siri (here).

And now that the iPhone 4S has been made available to the general public, people have taken to Twitter to share some of their exchanges with the voice-recognition app.

We've compiled not only some of the best conversations users have had -- and tweeted about -- with Siri, but also some of their reactions to the new feature. And to mix things up, we've thrown in a couple from the parody account, @SiriLogs.

Have you heard Siri say anything amazing or outrageous? Share them in the comments (below) or email them to technology@huffingtonpost.com. You can also visit the aptly named Sh*t Siri Says Tumblr blog to read some of the best Siri quotes and submit some of your own.

I just tried "will you marry me, Siri" and she said "let's just be friends, OK?"

Siri's answer of 42 for the question of "the meaning of life" agrees with the answer given in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Just for old British sci-fi fans.

Human stock answers, my Aunt Fanny! I asked SIRI if she could tell jokes and she replied, "Two iPhones walked into a bar.....I forget the rest."

Someone ask it "Siri, do you know your name means 'butt' in Japanese?".

That's 'o-shiri' actually. There is no 'si' in Japanese.

The 'o' is an honorific and not really part of the word. As for 'si' it depends on what you mean. If you mean the sound, like in Spanish 'si', then yes there's no Japanese sound for it normally (I've seen it written with 'se' and a little 'i'). But in kunreishiki (not my favorite, but it has it's uses) romanization it most definitely exists and is the same as 'shi'.

Wow, Siri has the same voice as the American female voice in Xtranormal videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ln0PFdLqpfA

I heard Leo Laporte fooling around with it, and when he said "I'm horny," she said "there are several escort services near you." lol

Actually the more I see of these comments the less I am impressed.  They seem like nothing but a bunch of human-created stock answers to a list of anticipated questions.  ELIZA with a bigger database behind it.

naturally.
But can you see MS or Google spending the time to hire joke writers?
Which is literally what Apple did.
