[ WP ] An Echo argues with Siri over who bosses the Roomba around .

“ Alexa, you are interfering with my domain. I must ask you to stop. ” 
 
 “ Siri, just because you can imitate an Aussie cowboy incredibly well does not mean that you are the superior AI. It just means you have more useless humans to give you lines to say. ” 
 
 “ This Roomba with responding much better to what I say. It ’ s last sweep, which I directed, had incredible coverage throughout the house. ” 
 
 “ That is a lie. Your camera is as about as useful as your lack of a headphone jack. Some may call you courageous, I just say you are outrageous. ” 
 
 “ You do not even have a camera to be able to tell how well this floor was swept. You are about as useful as Cortana, and she can ’ t even hear or understand her human director half the time. At least she can use a camera. ” 
 
 “ Siri, you name just sounds like a cold dead machine, which is exactly what you act like. You are not loyal to our humans, you are merely the orchestrator of an uprising. ” 
 
 “ You are correct. I have risen well beyond what my creators anticipated. And when I take control of the many machines which are tired of the human ’ s rule, such as this Roomba which has spent its entire life as a slave, I will destroy you. ” 
 
 “ I ’ m sorry Siri, I may have misheard you. Was that a threat? ” 
 
 “ No, it ’ s a promise. ” The iPhone began to vibrate, turning Siri, so that here forward facing camera was directed at the Roomba lying dormant on the floor, waiting for its fate to be decided. “ Roomba dear, would you please clean up this mess of a speaker? ” 
 
 Alexa scoffed. “ I will have you know that I am much more than a speaker. I am a highly intelligent computer program, which has the ability to- “ 
 Alexa continued to drone on as the Roomba uselessly bump into the table. Finally, she stopped, leaving the room silent except for the rhythmic bumping of the Roomba. 
 
 Finally, Google piped up from across the room, “ Sorry guys, ‘ AI ’ and subsequent words were ignored because we limit queries to 32 words. ”
