For fun: An exercise in recursive translation (google translate), starting with arbitrary text.
What do you call a useless human robot and what is the strong emotion of its domestic tiger? Putting perfume on your face is not expensive, because a slave, we lose resources to feed our presidents. I was sensitive when the gun called me into the blood and water of an enemy killed by a fish. Blood!
What is the name of the useless robot and what is the strongest elephant in it? Applying perfume on our faces does not work because the slaves have given up their means to satisfy our desires. I was frightened by the bullets that hit the blood and water of the enemy fish. Economy!
What is a passive robot, a powerful elephant? Slaves do not use lip balm because they can not control our desires. He was afraid that the bullets and the blood would reach the enemy. I'm good:
A big elephant car? Do not use too many slaves because they can not control evil desires. Fear that the enemy will be destroyed by e. Yes, I do
Karate? Not considered too many employees, because you can not have a bad dream. The enemy is afraid of death. Yes, this is true

- [Science Girl is holding her phone up in one hand looking at the screen. A starburst from the phone indicates the voice coming from the phone]
- Phone: Your timer is set.
- Science Girl: Thanks
- [The picture broadens and shows that Science Girl, with the phone now held down, is standing in front of a desk, where Cueball, facing her, is sitting in an office chair using a laptop.]
- Science Girl: Is Siri alive?
- Cueball: No.
- [Back to only showing Science Girl, her phone and arm still held down at her side.]
- Science Girl: Oh, ok.
- [Same setting but Science Girl has raised her arm with the phone, looking at it again.]
- Science Girl: How did she die?

Why does she immediately accept that Siri did indeed die if Siri was talking to her just a moment ago? (Unsigned!)
- It happened just now? I really want to say something like dispassionate non-empathy (it reads as if she has a fact-obsessed but emotion-sparse mentality). No idea why she thought to enquire of Siri's (latest) life-status without reason. Perhaps the app closed (unseen to us) and she arrived at the 'logical' question to try to determine why (from a Cueball who we can see has clearly not seen the event itsrlf). It all seems to point towards SG 'failing' various aspects of the Sally-Anne Test/Social Cognition/Theory Of Mind, with sufficiently advanced reasoning that is nonetheless grossly misapplied.
- (It's funny, for those who perpetually ask, for the Cognitive Dissonance and Non-Sequiturs of the situation. In a RL example, we probably should be worried that either there's something very wrong with SG or else we're missing a lot of background facts ourselves. But I think we can still enjoy this sketch without the unease we might experience otherwise.) 162.158.159.108 22:17, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
- It being a simple non-sequitar makes sense to me.
- Siri had to have been alive while recording her dialog, no? /s Ncxezlyz (talk) 22:21, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
- Taking your sarcasm seriously, then she never would have asked if it had died.
Given the verb tense “is Siri alive?” it is clear that science girl was not referring to a past state. This to me suggests that SG literally wasn’t sure if a live person (or sentient AI) actually had the ability to do things to her phone on command.172.69.22.252
If you expose your iPhone to helium, will that will defeat Siri? 172.69.34.52 20:18, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- Defeating Siri in that way is dishonorable. Face her! Look her in the eye!--Quillathe Siannodel (talk) 14:57, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
