kind of

step 1 - engage siri mode, say "gently caress"

step 2 - tap to edit and type real question e.g. "where is the nearest quiznos at" (dictate it for extra irony points)

step 3 - results: a robot lady says aloud for all to hear i.e. "nobody has eaten at quiznos for 10 years, you loving loser"

why can't it work silently in text form?

someone should make a service you can text requests to an iphone in an empty room then it text-to-speeches it and OCRs the response and sends it back to you

jeff bezos believes he's steve jobs, which is why he has trouble accepting that he's actually sam walton.
