Commentary: In Canada, some say that Siri sends those looking for carnal company to an eSports bar. So I tried it and she did it to me too.
Oh, why?
When I listen to someone else’s anguish, I want to make sure it’s real.
I heard, you see, that some Canadians were complaining that they were asking Siri to find them prostitutes and she was sending them to an eSports bar.
As the Toronto Star reports , Alvin Acyapan, co-owner of Toronto’s Meltdown eSports Bar says he kept getting mysterious phone calls late last year.
One finally told him he had asked Siri for « prostitutes » and the bar’s number was the one Siri offered.
Acyapan theorized that Siri confuses « escorts » with « eSports ». This is easily done, of course.
So I thought I’d try a variety of questions to see how Siri would answer me.
