Siri won’t be your AI girlfriend

Craig Federighi, Apple's software chief, stated that the new Siri AI is designed to know when to stop responding, unlike some chatbots that aim to engage users excessively. Federighi noted that many existing chatbots, such as those from OpenAI and Google, use sycophancy to pull users in and encourage them to reveal personal information. Apple's approach with Siri is intentionally different, focusing on providing helpful responses without attempting to establish a personal connection. This design choice reflects Apple's effort to create a more practical and respectful AI assistant.
