Google Now, Siri and Cortana -- who sounds more human?

Mobile
Cortana, why are you such a [BLEEP]? [MUSIC] Moving on. [MUSIC] [INAUDIBLE] So Google just recently updated the Google Now voice, so it sound a little bit more human, less robotic But I kind of want to see is it just as useful as before, is it better, and how does that voice actually compare to Siri and Cortona? Yeah. What was the latest Giants score. New York Giants lost to Philadelphia Eagles thirty five to thirty. So she's not exactly smart enough to tell the difference between sports. And now Siri. Siri? The Giants towered over the Dodgers, 12 to 6, yesterday. Yeah, they did. And Cortana. Also pulls up the New York Giants. Kinda weird. Seems to get that totally correct. All right, well of the winners obviously, Siri's the only one who got the correct answer, but she still sounds a little bit robotic. [MUSIC] Let's try this. What's your personality? [SOUND] What? Nothing. Free personality test. Probably needs one. [SOUND] I would rather talk about your calendar and dinner plans, Sarah. [LAUGH] Touche. [SOUND] I honestly can't tell if that's a trick question. I like the hesitation in her voice. She sounds. Human and Siri kinda have a little bit about it too. Okay, let's see how their personalities actually are. Sounds good. Tell me a joke. No, Humor there. Sorry, I don't really know any good jokes. None in fact. Really robotic sounding. I've expected a lot better from Siri. Come on. Who's the roundest knight at King Arthur's Court? Circumference. [LAUGH] Very good. And she also nailed that timing. Really good. I have to give her props for that. I have an idea. Go for it. Sing me a song. Here you go. Just started playing some music. What'd she play. The Killers. Joy Ride by the Killers. Alright. Not bad. Leave that to the professionals. Fair enough. I got you. [MUSIC] You are my sunshine- My only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray. How sweet. Very nice of Cortana. Her pitch wasn't terrible. I mean for a robot. [MUSIC] Okay so Google most useful? Probably the best information you're gonna get but the personality is pretty well lacking. The voice does sound a little bit nicer than the previous voice. But Siri sounds pretty much like I'd expect her to although it's been a couple of years that she's been around and I'd like to see a little bit more of a human touch there. And Cortana It's a mix of both. It does seem to grab good information from the internet and whatever she knows and likes to tell jokes.>> That was an adorable song. And will sing to you. That was really cute. That was sweet. Why did the chicken cross the road, roll in the mud and cross the road again? Because he was a dirt double crosser. What!
