Is Siri Smarter Than Google?
storagedude writes "Google could go the way of the dodo if ultra intelligent electronic agents (UIEA) make their way into the mainstream, according to technology prognosticator Daniel Burrus. Siri is just the first example of how a UIEA could end search as we know it. By leveraging the cloud and supercomputing capabilities, Siri uses natural language search to circumvent the entire Google process. If Burrus is right, we'll no longer have to wade through '30,000,000 returns in .0013 milliseconds' of irrelevant search results."
So he's saying that if we perfect assistants to the point where they'll be able to answer our questions directly, we won't have to go look for the answers ourselves?
No shit, Sherlock.
...on the sort of basic questions Siri's capable of answering, something went horribly wrong with your query.
My German Shepherd is smarter than your Siri.
If I want to know something, I just have to ask my ex. She knows everything.
I've calculated my velocity with such exquisite precision that I have no idea where I am.
"*** News flash, you can enter your query in Google Search with your voice as well. ***
I just tried this, trying louder and louder each time. My neighbors just called the cops. Can someone else PLEASE google "Did Hitler love anal sex" for me??
PS - I don't have a microphone.
I like big butts and I cannot lie.
A couple of months back my family and I were having a debate whether falling thirty feet would break your legs or kill you, so we asked Siri. She responded back with a list of buildings we could jump off in our area over thirty feet high.
I'm all for scientific tests... but ouch.
Tey evi with google voice rec. Often suprises me how well it works.
Did you dictate that into Evi?
Siri must be pretty amazing if it can tell you all the prime numbers greater than 87. Maybe it's smarter than Google after all.
Q. How many Apple Newton users does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A. Faux. There to eat lemons, axe gravy soup.
Bio questions? Ask me to start a Q&A journal. Computer analogies available for most topics!
Ich mag große Arschen und ich kann nicht lügen -- A. Hitler
You'd never say "He leveraged the razor and cut himself" because that isn't using to his advantage
You obviously don't know many Emos.
Blank until
Where were you planning on putting it?
Didn't he already answer that with his query?
I thought it meant the opposite of sensibre.
