    I think I now understand why you don't understand time.
    Failure would result in what?

    OK I will take it as a given you understand why I don't understand TIME

    But to be absolutely clear my given is totally correct can you pleases summarise my mis understanding

    Thanks

    I’m starting to think that Siri has a sarcastic side.

    Interrresting (says he tapping his arched fingers together)

    I am guessing if they wish to move forward to true AI sarcasm would need to be in there

    If you are confused about Weg's meaning regarding Siri when it is clear it is meaning number 3 then what hope do you have for tackling time?

    So you have a problem understanding jokes?

    Sorry about that

    Fear itself is a sign of intelligence.

    Time (the "distance" between two moments) does not exist. All that does exist is the present ("now".)

    Each moment, however, has the POTENTIAL to exist FOREVER.

    I asked Siri ''what are you having for dinner tonight?''

    She replied "I don't eat. If I did, I'd eat chocolate.''

    She can be funny when she wants to be.

    I'm going to guess that the comma in there is an interpretation on your part.

    The meaning of the phrase would more likely be "'I'm trying to do one thing everyday that scares me.''

    It's the diff between:
    - you should do one thing that scares you every day.
    - the act of trying to do one thing every day is what scares you.

    I think the comma is a typo on my part. I should ask her again.

    I think the comma is misplaced on any case. If there were two separate thoughts it should be a period or a semi-colon.

    I just asked her the same question but this time, she replied:

    “I’m working. My shift doesn’t end for another 614,976 years.”

    Might be a Y2K-type problem.

    Could one ask Siri a question to bring it, "alive?"
