Why must siri sound like a disinterested teenager?

As someone who’s opted out of becoming a parent I haven’t had to deal with the monosyllabic grunts of preoccupied teens, except occasionally in the grocery store—and with Siri! For the love of god Apple, please create an option where Siri speaks in actual words and sentences. Is saying “Yes?” too much to ask? Sincerely, An adult who still use words.

Siri is an Artificial Intelligence powered voice assistant that requires the use of voice prompts in order to acknowledge a request and deliver the user’s answer to a specific question or subject.

Perhaps time should be spent 'training' Siri.


If that seems a bit off, then start over. You

can do that, once those paths are known.

"iPhone will have you give Siri commands in the training guide, so

the program can memorize it accurately. Train Siri to your voice.."


I've probably a few (12+) 'Siri bookmarks' saved in browsers, in Macs. Can't

say those helped much, before I shut down Siri for good; and sanity sake.


Mostly in iPhone; its better set to use Siri; my Mac mini hasn't a webcam.

(Also tire and not amused with seeing my own mug via iSight, etc cam.)


Figure if I do ever 'indulge' Siri again, I may only try to use Dictation; as

that can work offline, and be trained to spell spoken words.. they say.


..Given the poor results, overall, that Siri is the iPhone's least worries..


The device has insufficient touch sensitivity for me to use the display.

While I've curbed an impulse ~ to test-drive a spike to give it the finger.
