Siri Failures, Illustrated

It appears that Siri wasn't exactly programmed by people who think women = human :(

Trigger warning for how Siri responds to rape.

There's an interesting MetaFilter thread about it here.

I found this really distressing.

I wonder if they are more afraid of being boycotted by anti-choice peoples than they are concerned with helping people find what they need.

As I understand it, Siri is just a speech recognition front end to the Wolfram Alpha search engine.

I'm betting the Crisis Pregnancy Center mob have used Search Engine Optimisation techniques to make themselves the top hits for specific searches.

Anyone know if there's a detailed comparison of Siri's answers vs a straight Wolfram Alpha search for the same words, and what the meta tags are like on the CPC sites vs legitimate clinics?

Prk

Edit: Meant CPC for the illegitimate mob.
