The article gets it all wrong. The technology siri is based on was only a project for a few years and ended in 2005, basically because it was a failure and already far behind search engines at the time.

The majel thing is likely far more than siri, rumors are that it gives 93% accuracy on the turing test, and includes emotion and object detection technology.

What on earth is "93% accuracy on the turing test" meant to mean? Do you know what the Turing test actually is?

What are you talking about?

You can look up the turing test on wikipedia.

I'm talking about the reddit leak by a former google x lab member. See this page for more. http://www.artificialbrains.com/google-x-lab
