Siri pulls its information from Wikipedia.
Wikipedia, as many of you know, has a pretty decent history of being hacked and/or changed in "interesting" ways.
This weekend, those Wiki changes meant that asking Siri who Donald Trump was or how old he is ended with you getting an eye-full of a flaccid penis. Visual metaphors as insults are peak 2018.
Siri fixed the issue pretty quickly and Wikipedia says it has permanently banned the users who made those changes, but none of that happened before news of the glitch got around to Twitter. Twitter normally doesn't allow for sharing NSFW images, so some users placed emojis to cover most of the image.
In this case, that just made it worse because the orangey-yellow emoji was now sporting a mop of pubic hair that looked like an awful toupee.
Take a look:
Siri makes mistakes all the time.
The AI system is still relatively new and not-yet able to pick up on these types of things quickly. There are even Reddit threads and web pages devoted to people's favorite Siri screw-ups.
This one, though, seems to be one of people's favorites.
Normally at this point we would just embed a bunch of tweets to show you how much people are talking about this... but penis.
So much penis.
So we're going to go with a lot of screenshots. If you're interested in seeing the original image, you can hop on Twitter yourself and search for "Donald Trump Siri."
We promise finding the penis won't be hard.
We censored them with a red box in our screenshots.

As we said before, the glitch was fixed pretty quickly.
