Someone actually tried to use Siri to hide a body
Someone seems to have actually asked Siri how to hide a body, and meant it. The Independent reports that 20-year-old murder suspect Pedro Bravo had told his iPhone, “I need to my hide my roommate.” The accused reportedly committed the crime following an argument with Christian Aguilar, who was dating Bravo’s ex-girlfriend.
US authorities also discovered location data contradicting the suspect’s testimony in regards to his location during the time of the incident. Additionally, it was determined that Bravo used his phone’s flash light nine times. The Independent cites police as saying Bravo used the function while attempting to conceal the deceased’s body. Apple’s “intelligent assistant” Siri is meant to assist users with some basic functionalities but is also programmed to offer answers to strange remarks such as “Open the pod doors,” and “Do I make you horny?” In the past, it even provided suggestions as to where to deposit a corpse although that recently changed to something more evasive. Either way, no one suspected that someone would take the developers’ cheekiness at face value.
