If you’re seeing your family this weekend, you might want to hold off on asking Siri about Donald Trump.

The President’s looks have received some pretty harsh comparisons in the past, but the iPhone digital assistant might have come up with the worst one yet. If you ask Siri how old Trump is, you may get a picture of a penis instead.

The glitch, which was caused by vandals making edits to Trump’s Wikipedia page, also worked with the question “Who is Donald Trump?”

The problem appears to have been fixed and a Wikipedia editor told The Verge that the vandals have been “blocked indefinitely” from the website.

One social media user pointed out this is probably not the best time of year for problems like this.

While some iPhone users suggested Siri was sharing its own take on Trump, the NSFW glitch shows that artificial intelligence still needs some work.

Siri errors are so common there’s a Reddit page devoted to sharing its most ridiculous mistakes.

Last year, users were confused when the personal assistant starting telling people that the national anthem of Bulgaria was “Despacito”.

For the record, it’s actually “Mila Rodino” - which is unfortunately a lot harder to dance to.
