If it does change the way we speak then illiteracy rates will likely increase. Take for example words that can be pronounced multiple ways and have two different meanings. I have yet to hear Siri correctly pronounce the word "record" in the context of something that recalls or relates past events.
One anecdotal data point here. I really, really enjoy not typing whenever possible. Sometimes when I'm driving I have my headphones in so I can treat Siri exactly like a personal assistant. It's useful and only a button-hold away.
