I tell my super intelligent assistant, who's much better at understanding human language than Siri, to make me some paperclips.
It understands some to mean more than one and less than infinity. In fact, some means less than "a lot". The meaning of a lot depends on the context, which happens to be paperclips for me.
What is "some" paperclips for me? It depends on how many papers I might need to clip (or whatever use I might have for paperclips). My super intelligent assistant would be able to work out a good estimate.
After having an estimate, it can go make me "some" paperclips, and then stop somewhere short of paper clipping the entire world.
Alternatively, it could just ask me how many "some" means.
