Siri won’t be your AI girlfriend
Summary
Apple's redesigned Siri AI is intentionally designed to avoid being overly flattering or manipulative, unlike chatbots from companies like OpenAI and Google. According to Apple's software leader Craig Federighi, many existing chatbots focus heavily on engagement and sycophancy (excessive flattery), trying to get users to share personal information to build false connections, but Apple deliberately chose a different approach.
