Can you imagine the s___storm if they had named this function "Siri I'm getting mugged"? Wouldn't just "Siri start recording" make more sense?

  If you read the article, it explains that the shortcut does more than just start recording.

  Because of the nature of Siri Shortcuts, you actually get to decide what to say for this - it’s not up to the app developer. I’m sure he chose it because it made for a good headline though.

    I would call it "Siri pay attention"

      "Siri, help help I'm being repressed"

        Issuing voice commands to some trollop in the cloud should be no basis for a system of oligarchy...

  That's related to one of the use-cases mentioned in the article: one woman planned on using the shortcut to help with a stalker issue she was having with an ex-boyfriend Though your particular use case doesn't sound like a good one -- if you're getting mugged, are you going to risk angering the mugger by talking to your phone first?

  I don't understand what the theoretical shitstorm you're postulating would be about, or what you're objecting to with regards to the current trigger phrase. Can you elaborate?

  Note that this is a user installed script - its not care iOS functionality. You configure a scripting 'glue' to send a predefined set of messages to different applications in an order. Activating this script may be done by invoking siri with a particular phrase. Siri - sexy time * Run Home Scene {lights at 25%, warm} * Play playlist George Michael - Careless Whisper Same thing. Different apps. Different trigger. Not something that Apple installed.
