I think this may be a reference to the recent episode of This American Life on the topic [0]. On that program they use this issue as a light introduction to the main theme, just a curious feature of Siri that when you dive deeper leads to an interesting story.

- Karunamon 15y agoWhat I was expressing such shock at was the way they phrased it. If you look at the image to the right of the offending sentence, it's a Siri screenshot with Siri, where were you made? Siri: That's classified. I don't think this is Apple "programming siri to avert uncomfortable questions" as much as another joking response to a nonsense question along the lines of "Open the pod bay doors" or "What is the meaning of life". The implication struck me as utterly absurd.
- MartinCron 15y agoSiri was able to answer the "where were you designed?" question with "Designed by Apple in California", so it may or may not be just joking response to a nonsense question.
