Siri is actually completely asexual; it is an it. Whether you hear it speak in a male or female voice is entirely dependent upon where you are and what language you use with it.

Add to that the fact that it is simply software, a program running on a piece of hardware, and "it' truly becomes the only proper pronoun for it.
So don't be so quick to dismiss other people; especially when they are more correct than you are.
