I think the only thing Siri is trying to hide by being evasive is that she/ he/ it is none too smart, cindy.

Siri is a nice precursor of things to come when we develop better AI, but right now I don't regard it as anything more than a gimmick. And (paranoid freak that I am), I don't like the way you have to be online to use it. Obviously that's because your iPhone isn't capable of handling locally the huge range of requests you might make, but I always wonder: If my end of the conversation has to be transmitted to a central server to be processed, who else might be listening to and/ or recording it?
