Susan Bennett was a voiceover artist reporter Jessica Ravitzwas interviewing for a CNN special project on the world's busiest airport --
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International -- scheduled to come out next month.
She was tracking down the airport's voices, and Bennett, a voice of Delta
terminals, was one of them.
In the course of a phone conversation, Ravitz asked her to
rattle off some jobs she's had over the years. She gave me a quick and general
rundown and then added that she's done a lot of IVR work.
"IVR?" Ravitz asked.
"Interactive voice response," she answered.
"The sort of thing you hear on a company's phone system."
For reasons she can't explain, Ravitz blurted out, "Hey, are you Siri?"
She gasped. And then I gasped.
What followed was a short, panicked flurry of non-denials
and non-confirmations, and a promise from me that I wouldn't do or say a thing.
That was months ago. About two weeks ago, Bennett reached out to Ravitz. She was ready to
speak as herself and set the record straight.
