> I set a reminder(thanks Siri) to check these stats later that night.
Thank you, alarm clock! Thank you, spoon! Thank you, hammer!
In any case, thank you for the post, and thank you even more for keeping this kind of service running for so long :)

(Starting your car at -55C is not a good idea, even when it has >300W of heaters keeping it warm.)
I want to thank her a) because it feels natural and b) to tell her that she's actually got something right. She's usually less use than an ice kettle so I want us both to get a kick out of it when she's not.
The one second press-and-hold, then the three second wait for response, are obstacles that keep Siri removed. Once those limitations are inevitably gone, and one can immediately say "thanks" and hear a naturalistic response in less than half a second (like Malkovich in the commercial where "time sequences are shortened"), the illusion will be a strong one. Statefulness, ubiquity, and responsiveness will be a powerful UX combination. To the degree Siri interaction becomes naturalistic, we'll probably say "please" and "thanks" much as we do in everyday speech.
Hope I'm wrong though.
