Belinda, 10, is already comfortable interacting with artificial intelligence.
If Siri had any feelings she would know she was being affectionately teased. When 10-year-old Belinda and her friends have a play date they sometimes pepper Siri with questions in the hope she will say something random and make them laugh. “Do a rap,” they urge Siri. “Tell us a bedtime story.”
“The stories and raps are very funny, because they don’t make sense,” Belinda says. “So it’s like a duck went up to a store, the duck came back from the store, you went to school the next day and stuff like that.”
