      I wish Siri would listen for people who say thank you and then say you're welcome. Feels like we're enforcing bad habits.

      @mayli kinda wish Siri would go in the opposite direction. I think the most dangerous habit is thinking of an algorithm as a human being.

      @worrydream right, so making it sound even less human-like than now? One or the other. The worst is "like a human you can treat badly"

      @mayli many people seem interested in AI because they want servants. "Slavery without the guilt." I find it all kind of gross...

      @mayli Tools can have an AI posture ("servant") or an IA posture ("superpower"). I say IA, and stop pretending have conversations w/ tools.

          @worrydream @mayli What would an IA look like for Apple TV's Siri lookup? For asking Siri about sports scores, the weather, etc?

          BTW, Siri started at SRI, and one of its original creators was Adam Cheyer, a big proponent of Engelbart
