Last updated

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has declared that he has partnered with Apple to develope The "Rock X Siri: Dominate the Day" — a film that will debut on YouTube on July 24.

Update: The short film, which amounts to a long commercial showing off Siri's capabilities, is now live.

Very little is known about the movie, other than what Johnson himself said about it in a Tweet.

Johnson's about the movie says:

Our movie debuts TOMORROW:

#DominateYourDay

I partnered with #Apple to make the BIGGEST, COOLEST, CRAZIEST, DOPEST, MOST OVER THE TOP, FUNNEST (is that even a word?) movie ever.

And I have the greatest co-star of all time - #SIRI.

I make movies for the world to enjoy and we also made this one to motivate you to get out there and get the job done.

I want you to watch it, have fun with it and then go LIVE IT.

Ha!

that is awesome. 

Totally cheesy yet entertaining and cool at the same time. 


"Siri, save my ass!"

"I didn't understand what you said there."

Before everyone flies off the handle exclaiming Apple has lost their mind, read the story carefully.

This is a short film or rather an extended commercial. I don't view it any differently than the short films they create to open WWDC except they're releasing it in Youtube. It's simply an introduction to the new Siri with updates already announced. Perfect precursor to the new iPhone release coming soon.

I think Siri has something cool up its sleeve. I am sure Apple engineers are cooking something special for us. What do you guys think?

I sure hope they release VocalIQ tech the day this is released. Otherwise this film will be cringey.

Apple acquired VocalIQ long ago for very cheap. Basically "discovered" them. VocalIQ created an AI system that recognizes human speech %90 of the time where Siri is closer to %30.

and no they didn't just ask robotic questions but tested with actual conversation.
