The latest issue of the Brown University Alumni Magazine has a little article on the "real" Siri:

In my much previous life as a graduate student in linguistics, my focus was speech/language recognition. That was 30 some years ago, and I predicted to my colleagues that it'd be twenty or more years before anything useful was developed. I didn't feel that quixotic about it, so moved on to other things.

My prediction turned out to be fairly accurate, but I didn't think that anything like Siri on such a small device as an iPhone would happen till Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock were going to places no one had gone before.
