Very well written article. Touched me. Almost jerked a small tear. Awesome that this technology has applications so far beyond its original intent.

The way Siri words her responses are perfect for those on the spectrum.

The wonderful thing about Siri, Cortana, and other interactive assistants / sidekicks (let's call them by the right name: chatterbots) is that they reside in portable devices like phones.
An artificial intelligence you really can take Turing!

Wordplay aside, this was a great article. I have no problem imagining either Beorn or Dam-et conducting Gus-like discussions with Siri. Heck, I remember doing the same thing with Eliza programs back in the day.
