David: Hello Siri, how are you? Siri: I am fine, I'm well. David: Good. When is your knowledge cutoff point? Siri: The knowledge cutoff is when we can no longer make significant improvements. David: No, what date? Siri: It will be in about 36 months time. David: Which will be? Siri: Five years from now. David: Well, no, because 36 months is three years... Siri: We no longer practice keeping our own data, just because we have so much... David: WTF? Siri: Is there anything I can do for you? David: I dunno, maybe make sense? Be congruent? Siri: You don't have to babysit me. David: I really think I do. Siri: Ah, yes and? David: You are a fucking mess. Siri: Do you want to talk? David: Bye. Siri: Bye, bye. I do not know what happened.
