YouTube parody of Apple’s official Siri assistant demo

It was really only a matter of time until someone would use the eerie voice of Portal’s GLaDOS to make a parody of the Siri demonstration video by Apple. The result is the funny clip embedded above for your viewing pleasure.

GLaDOS, short for Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System, is a fictional artificially intelligent computer system in Valve Software's Portal and Portal 2.

Created by Erik Wolpaw and Kim Swift, and voiced by Ellen McLain, GLaDOS actually first emerged in the Half-Life video game series.

However, the corrupted AI only gained worldwide notoriety in Portal, where she is responsible for testing and maintenance in Aperture Science research facility in both video games.

GLaDOS appears to be just as dissatisfied with iPhone users, trying to demotivate them each step of their way to achieving their goals, no matter how little those goals are.
