Sure, and I'm not for one second Siri could do that, but
a) I was under the impression Siri was doing some kind of semantic analysis rather than straight text recognition?
b) I just meant if we suspended disbelief and Siri was this magical AI tool it would do something like that, my second point is just that because we don't know what Siri can/will do it seems ridiculous to say it's going to change the world.
I totally agree with you, I'm just saying there are almost two separate discussions here, one being Siri and it's implementation, the other being the impact of AI on our lives. If Siri was the new AI, then these would be the same discussion, but as I don't think it is, it's not.
