This hilarious comparison between Alexa and Siri is funny because it’s true
If you’re familiar with comedian Benedict Townsend, who presents PopBuzz’s comedy news channel Scroll Deep and conducts celebrity interviews for the pop culture site, you may have already spotted that there’s no love lost between him and Siri.
In a recent sketch, he hilariously and unfavourably compared the results of trying to get any kind of sense out of Apple’s digital assistant and asking the same question of Google’s Alexa.
iOS users, prepare to relate hard.

Nailed it.
TikTok users knew exactly what he was talking about.
I have both Siri and Alexa in my room. Your TikTok triggered my Alexa, but Siri’s still asleep. Point proved.

Siri has an attitude these days and it’s not cool.

“Siri, turn on mobile data” “You will need mobile data turned on to do this”…

Recently whenever I use siri she’ll go ‘HM?’ midway thru me speaking.

Siri is like that angsty teenager that is always zoning out of conversation and is super awkward.

As a solid Apple user I can confirm this is accurate.
