Before Apple suspended the partnership with contractors who used to listen in on Siri conversations in order to improve the service, a new report has come forth with some chilling information. Apparently, contractors in Cork were expected to listen to more than a 1000 conversations from the assistant every shift, and this comes from an employee who had his contract terminated without further notice.

A report from the Irish Examiner (via iDropNews) states that grading of these Siri conversations took place based on a number of factors. For example, if the activation was done accidentally or if the user actually summoned Siri but the voice assistant couldn’t help with a query, then efforts to improve it were carried out, but these could only happen via hired help in the form of contractors, which Apple users didn’t know about until now.
