The problem with Siri

Violet Blue: Why the problem with Siri matters:

The reason Siri got its pro-life association was that the program didn’t just return zero results for abortion clinics when it should have been. In multiple instances Siri directed users to pro-life “pregnancy counseling centers” whose primary motivations are to talk women out of considering certain sex-related healthcare options including abortion, contraception and more.

Yep. "I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that" is quite different from "there are none", and "here's one" when it isn't.
