Siri porn query leads to a call from sex worker?

The weirdest thing happened today. I was looking for an address on my street, because I wanted to fix a delivery error of somebody's else letter. The address had my unit number, but wrong building or complex number. I asked Siri: "Show me 422 Pine Ridge Road". Siri understood that as "Show me porn", and replied, something like "I don't know how to respond to that".

A few minutes later I get a call with no caller ID. I answer, and a woman's voice starts telling me in a sweet voice "I have been waiting for you..." I disconnected. What was that? Did a sex worker or brothel (they are legal in Queensland) buy my Siri query? I never got a call like that one before, and the timing looked like it was no coincidence.

Apple, what are you doing with people's Siri conversations?
