> There exists a general assumption that a voice has a human-intelligence behind it, but obviously now not all voices do. This is one of the reasons I've always been bothered by the over-humanisation of Siri. I feel there is a belief on the Siri team that if they make it feel more like a human with jokes and overly verbose responses then people will be more forgiving when it fails. I've always felt the opposite, that it gives it a "incompetent super-intelligence" sort of vibe instead and I start to wonder if when I ask it to set a timer for the 3rd time if I'd be less frustrated if it just responded with a confused beep rather than a quip.
