Apple's new voice technology, dubbed "Siri," is really smart. It's also got an attitude.
While Siri has been receiving tons of praise from journalists and consumers alike, Apple's new AI system has one serious flaw: it doesn't understand thick accents.
Apple's newest artificial intelligence technology is called Siri. Originally based off the Siri Assistant app in the App Store, Apple uses its own secret sauce and Naunce's backend to create a super intelligent assistant for iPhone 4S users.
What you may not know about Siri is that it has an attitude and a sense of humor. Here's some of the crazy things that Siri says...
Last week we broke the news that jailbreak hacker iH8sn0w was actively working on bringing Siri to iDevices like the 4G iPod touch and iPhone 4. This got a lot of people excited at the possibility of getting access to Siri's artificial intelligence without having to upgrade to the iPhone 4S.
This morning, the Dev Team's MuscleNerd sent out a tweet saying that porting Siri to the iPhone 4 or any other iDevice would most likely require piracy, something that the Dev Team has always refused to do...

Behind each great company, there is a great mission statement. Apple's mission is to bring the best personal computing experience to consumers through its innovative hardware, software, and Internet offerings.
This mission statement has been driving Apple for years, fueling the company's vision of what the future could look like, and then turning that vision into reality. In this video, you will see Apple's 1987 vision of what we know today as the iPad, Siri, and FaceTime...
As expected, one of the stars of Apple's iPhone event yesterday was its new Siri feature. The project, which the rumor mill dubbed Assistant, materialized on stage as a digital personal assistant for future iPhone users.
Even with its impressive demo yesterday, many folks have written Siri off as another failed attempt at a voice command feature. TUAW did some digging and found some evidence that it's much, much more than that...
Siri Assistant isn't new. The app officially launched in the App Store back in 2010. Shortly after that, Apple bought the company behind it, but kept the app alive in the App Store. But with integration of Siri into the iPhone 4S, what will happen to the app?
Well, it will go away. The app has already been pulled from the App Store, and a goodbye message appears when you launch the app now...
Siri is Apple's new flagship feature on the iPhone 4S. In fact, they're counting on the iPhone 4S' Siri integration to move units, as it's an exclusive feature to the iPhone 4S.
But what some of you might not realize is this: Siri has already been available for the iPhone for quite some time now, in fact, it was just removed from the App Store in the last 24 hours.
In other words, it works on the original iPhone 4, quite similarly to the way it works on the new iPhone 4S, and we have the video to prove it...
Chances are you probably heard about Siri coming with the iPhone 4S. Many current iPhone 4 users were bummed when Apple announced that it would be a iPhone 4S-only feature.
The jailbreak community is already working on porting Apple's revolutionary Siri technology to the 4G iPod touch. Thanks to iH8sn0w and Gojohnnyboi, hackers have somewhat ported Siri to the previous generation iPod touch already...
If you've missed today's festivities and want to get the rundown of the event in video format, we've got you covered.

We've been talking about this for quite some time, and today we finally found out what Apple is going to do with its purchase of voice-based artificial intelligence business, Siri. As we'd expected, Siri is now going to be built right into the iPhone 4S, bringing advanced voice control to Apple's newly announced handset.
During today's special iPhone Event, Apple's Scott Forstall showed off a variety of new and interesting ways of talking to your iPhone, with Siri doing the user's bidding as if it was, scarily enough, a real assistant...
