Every Apple device comes with a built-in voice assistant, Siri, capable of doing almost anything, from answering questions and making recommendations to performing actions like playing music, setting reminders, and making calls.
Siri jokes around with you with the right prompt and can even tell stories and serve up interesting trivia. The AI assistant can also cue up some Star Wars puns and play fun games with you.
Have a question about why the sky is blue or how rainbows form? Siri might try to give you a scientific explanation, or she might respond with a witty remark about how she doesn’t control the weather.

Funny Things to Ask Siri
Voice assistants, like Siri, often provide funny or quirky responses. These humorous replies are generally pre-programmed by the developers as a way to make interactions more engaging and human-like. The developers often draw from pop culture references, wordplay, or playful twists on common questions. While it can sometimes feel spontaneous, it’s all carefully planned by designers.
The responses are part of the assistant’s personality, designed to offer more than just straightforward answers. For example, When you ask, “What’s your favorite color?” Siri might respond with, “I don’t have a favorite, but I think I’d look good in space gray”.
Siri, in particular, is not the best voice assistant out there, even as it slowly gains some much-hyped AI upgrades. You might not get as many funny responses as you would with Alexa, which specializes in humor (here’s a handy list of things you can ask Alexa for funny replies).
