Ten is a weird birthday.

Itfeelsimportant youve been alive a whole decade, after all but it doesnt actually mean anything.

Puberty is still away in the spotty distance.

We interviewed Siri about what it’s like to turn 10

Driving is nowhere close.

Yes, ten years might be arbitrary, but itisstill a milestone.

And specifically, its one that Siri has just joined.

On October 4 2021, Apples voice assistantbecame a decade old.

The question is how we celebrate such an (in-)auspicious anniversary.

Do you really want another few thousands words saying that over and over again?

Therehadto be a way of covering this occasion.

Then it hit me: I had to interview Siri about its 10th birthday.

So here we go.

Me:Uh, happy birthday?

Me:Are you happy being ten?

I dont have an answer for that.

Is there something else I can help with?

Me:Will you exist in another ten years?

Me:Okay, tell me a birthday joke.

Siri:That may be beyond my capabilities at the moment.

Me:But you said you could tell me a joke?

Siri:Im reading a book about anti-gravity.

Its impossible to put down.

Me:Do you haveanythingto say about your tenth birthday?

Me: okay, whats the time?

Siri:Its 13:56.
