Siri will correct anyone who dares to use Caitlyn Jenner’s old name
Siri will correct anyone who dares to use Caitlyn Jenner’s old name.
The former Olympian came out as transgender earlier this year and revealed her new name as Cait on a Vanity Fair cover in June.
Tumblr user LastNovember4 was the first to discover that Apple’s voice-activated assistant had Caitlyn’s back and posted screenshots of questions she posed to her iPhone.
‘What is Bruce Jenner’s real name?’ she asked.
Siri’s answer: ‘The full name of Caitlyn Jenner is Caitlyn Jenner.’
She then asked: ‘How tall is Bruce Jenner?’
To which the voice recognition software replied: ‘Caitlyn Jenner is 6′ 2′ tall.’
But Siri it is not consistent with its answers.
Ask ‘Who is Bruce Jenner?’ and it brings up excerpts from an out-of-date Wikipedia.
Similarly, the query ‘How old is Bruce Jenner?’ will not acknowledge her transition.
It seems Siri was not programmed to be progressive but its answers, rather, depend on the sources used.
In April, the Russian Siri was accused of homophobia after it outright refused to discuss anything gay.
