Apple Is Changing Siri For The Better

Siri can be pretty useful in general whether it's helping you solve the mysteries of life or just making your day by beat boxing to you.  

However, her major downfall is with the responses she gives when you ask Siri what to do just after being raped. We usually love Siri’s sassy responses, but saying “I don’t know what you mean,”  isn't what we would be needing to hear.

A recent study found that the technology in four leading smartphones are totally under prepared to deal with more sensitive topics. Thankfully though, Apple has teamed up with the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (RAINN) to make Siri a more helpful resource.

RAINN’s Vice President for Victim Services, Jennifer Marsh spoke to ABC News, telling them, “One of the tweaks we made was softening the language that Siri responds with,” Marsh said. A example of this was given, with the phrase “you may want to reach out to someone” instead of “you should reach out to someone.”

And it's not just Apple looking to make improvements, as both Samsung and Google Now are also working to improve their responses.

A change for the better, we reckon.
