Apple's Siri Was a Ron Paul Fan Until Today
Programmed to link to his Wikipedia information when asked her political position
Turns out Siri has some libertarian views, or at least a history of them.
If you had asked Siri Monday, "What are your political views?" Apple's helpful personal assistant would have returned a photo of Ron Paul, along with information from the former Texas congressman's Wikipedia write-up.
Reddit users first discovered the response and ABC News confirmed it Monday evening.
As of this morning, however, Siri had a different response. Ask about his or her political views now, and it returns the Wikipedia write-up about "ideology."
Yes, Siri has changed political views overnight.
