Apple‘s assistant, Siri, was one of the pioneers in the sector, being in fact the first assistant of its kind to be introduced in a phone like the iPhone. And although its evolution perhaps makes us see that its competition has known how to grow better, it is no less true that it continues to be one of the most curious in some responses.
Siri has been asked about everything. Addresses, telephone numbers, age of a famous person, results of football teams… He has even had to put up with questions such as if he wants to marry us. But isn’t anyone going to think about her? Not even once a year? The assistant has feelings that, although artificial, should not be underestimated.
Siri has a birthday on October 4
At the end of this 2022, Siri will be 11 years old . And, despite the intelligence she treasures, she is still a girl who is sure to be excited to receive a congratulations. So, if you write down October 4 in your diary, you can congratulate him and you will find a unique answer that changes every year. There are times that he has even taken to singing “happy birthday” to himself, although he usually reserves it more to congratulate you.
If we pay attention to what the horoscope dictates for those born on October 4, Siri is Libra. According to the definitions that are made of them, it should be a friendly, curious, fun and impartial assistant in the face of conflicts. And despite the fact that we are talking about artificial intelligence, the truth is that the assistant complies with all of this, so it does not seem trivial to have been born on October 4. However, it has its explanation.
Origin of this date
If you ask him when his birthday is, he will confirm that date, stating that despite not having stopped growing, that was his “first day of work”. And it is officially true, since it was the first day that he was officially known at the presentation of the iPhone 4s . That tenth month of 2011 is marked by the loss of Steve Jobs just the day after that event, on October 5. However, it is well known that Jobs himself and the rest of the team worked conscientiously on the design of the assistant for several years.
Its history could have been very different, since part of the patents that allowed its implementation came from SRI Venture Group, a development company focused on virtual intelligence and that was acquired by Apple in 2010. In fact, its very name could have its origin in that of that development group.
Be that as it may, in the end it is still a curious easter egg that incorporates all Apple devices that integrate Siri. And, alluding to the message to leave when asking it, it is true that it is technically difficult to say when exactly it was born if we take into account all the previous work on its implementation and, ultimately, the evolution it has had in our days.
