Apple Music has arrived, and one of the flashiest features offered by the new streaming service is its integration with Siri, Apple’s intelligent personal assistant. During the WWDC Apple Music presentation last month, Eddy Cue ordered Siri to “play the song from Selma.” It took her a minute, but eventually, she caught the correct command and played “Glory” by Common and John Legend. Not bad, but what else can Siri do with Apple Music? Vulture decided to put her skills to the test by asking her 21 music-related questions of varying degrees of difficulty. Below are her responses, including artist, song, and album titles where applicable. A few takeaways: Siri is not a fan of Weezer, doesn’t understand the word thong, and thinks she has better taste than you do.
