Yeah man! I'm repulsed by all software that tries to have an attitude. People with attitudes are cool when they keep themselves fresh and upredictable, and adapt to the feedback they get. When 'attitude' is repetitive or predictable, or doesn't heed it's feedback, it becomes a horribly grating gimic. I want my computers to be computer-like. Predictable, flavorless tools that give feedback in terms of 'success' or 'error' only. I don't want a virual personal assistant that tries to cover its lack of functionality with 'personality'. I don't want my activity monitor to encourage me to reach 'goals' it set. I don't want my project management software to include rewards- how fucking patronizing is that? The reward is the project that I'm working on! Not a color splash or smiley face in the glorified checklist I'm using! Let's transplant an Asimov robot's (lack of) personality into my phone and rm -r /Siri/
