Turns out Siri has some libertarian views, or at least a history of them.

If you had asked Siri Monday, "What are your political views?" Apple's helpful personal assistant would have returned a photo of Ron Paul, along with information from the former Texas congressman's Wikipedia write-up.

Reddit users first discovered the response and ABC News confirmed it Monday evening.

As of this morning, however, Siri had a different response. Ask about his or her political views now, and it returns the Wikipedia write-up about "ideology."

Yes, Siri has changed political views overnight.


I guess not everyone in Silicon Valley is down with the Obamanation...

With regards to Apple, I've always found it odd how Steve Jobs' personal emphasis on individuality contrasted with the company's insistence on top-down control of the entire user experience.
