Smartphone Fail: Apple Siri Answers A Question at White House Press Briefing. Siri Tries to Answer Question at White House Press Briefing. A funny thing happened towards the end of White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest‘s daily press briefing on Thursday.
During a question about whether or not President Obama was “upset that he couldn’t get even one Republican” to support the Iran Deal, a reporter was interrupted by the unlikeliest source. No, it wasn’t a fellow reporter from a competing news outlet. Instead, it was Siri, Apple’s semi-automated iPhone assistant.
“Sorry. I’m not sure what you want me to change,” said the disembodied voice.
Earnest, the reporter, and everyone else laughed it off and continued on with the briefing. Yet considering Siri’s unintentional spunk, the late Steve Jobs‘ automaton might have a future in the world of public relations.
"Siri" tried to butt in on Thursday's White House press briefing.
The virtual iPhone personal assistant unexpectedly interjected when a reporter was asking Press Secretary Josh Earnest about the Iran nuclear deal, and whether President Obama was "upset" he couldn't get any Republicans on board.
A virtual voice could be heard in the room answering: "Sorry, I'm not sure what you want me to change."
Earnest laughed it off, as did the other reporters.
