When Apple’s Siri dissed Scarlett Johansson
According to a report by India TV, Scarlett Johansson’s portrayal of the artificial intelligence Samantha was criticized by Apple’s AI voice assistant Siri. As per the report, Siri said, “Her portrayal of artificial intelligence is beyond artificial.”
Scarlett, however, was not happy about Siri’s opinion and shared her thoughts on Siri’s statement. The MCU actress said, “I feel like I’ve been betrayed. The other day, I asked Siri how I looked, and she said, ‘You’re the fairest of them all.’ So, she’s obviously playing both sides. What the hell? What a backstabber, man.”
