You probably remember the one of the first artificial intelligence consumer products, the Furby, but what happens when you pit the Furby against [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genius-4)’s Siri in the ultimate AI showdown? Who would win if it cam down to Siri versus Furby? If you predicted that you’d have two very confused pieces of technology, then you would be correct.

Oddly enough these two tech innovations have more similarities then they would like to admit. They were/are hard to get your hands on and both make for pretty good party tricks.

What’s most impressive with this technology rumble caught on film is that someone still has a working Furby kicking around to use in a Siri versus Furby battle royale.
