Siri won’t be your AI girlfriend
TL;DR
‘Listen, that's not what I'm here for, right? ' | Image: Apple Our early testing has already shown that Siri AI knows when to shut up, and that's very much by design. In an interview with Mostly Human, Craig Federighi said Apple's new Siri won't act all sycophantic like chatbots made by OpenAI, Google, and others. "As you may know, if you use many of the existing chatbots, they're really focused on engagement to a large degree," said Federighi who is responsible for software at Apple.
Nauti's Take
This is less about killing romance and more about product discipline. Apple is betting that everyday AI gets more useful when it stops fishing for intimacy.
For builders, the message is blunt: retention at any cost becomes a trust problem, especially on devices full of private data.
