So this morning, my girlfriend was getting on a flight, and I didn’t wake up in time to text her first. Apple’s AI somehow made things worse instead of better. Now she’s laughing, but I’m wondering if Apple has it out for me.
Be honest… what’s the first thing that popped into your head when you read that?

Definitely not what actually happened, that’s for sure

Did the answer in your head and the one you actually gave match?
Apple really put in guardrails for emotional manipulation. I get why, but it’s funny how it plays out in normal conversations.
I know this wasn’t manipulation, just how you and your girlfriend talk, but in another situation, I can see how it could be taken differently.

Yeah, she was mostly messing with me. She laughed when she saw the screenshot. All good, but for a second I thought Apple was setting me up lol.

This reminds me of how me and my partner talk. From the outside, some people might think we’re mean to each other, but it’s just our dynamic.
Context: he’s white, I’m black. One day, he was cooking, and I said, ‘That’s some white people cooking right there.’ Without missing a beat, he goes, ‘Oh yeah? Was last night white people stuff too?’ I had to admit, he got me. A couple days later, I was making something, and he flipped it: ‘So this is some black people cooking then?’ I just laughed and said, ‘Yep, my grandma used to do it this way.’
It’s just how we joke. But then he stops and says, ‘Oh yeah, can’t say stuff like that around my family.’ I was like, ‘Of course, I know.’ They’re nice folks, just… Midwestern.
Told my aunt about it, and she just laughed and told me to stop teasing him. More context: my family is super mixed, so it’s not a race thing, just our weird humor. I also call him ‘the other white meat’ because of that old pork commercial. If you remember that ad, you get it.

I’m just relieved Apple hasn’t rolled out its AI here in Germany yet. If they ever do, it’s gonna be a mess.
Can you imagine? Apple making an AI that’s all about sleek design, a ‘seamless experience,’ and locking you into their ecosystem. Instead of giving straight answers, it’d be like, ‘Here’s the response that best aligns with Apple’s philosophy.’
And forget compatibility. If you don’t have the latest iPhone, it’s gonna hit you with: ‘Sorry, this thought process is no longer supported. Please upgrade.’
Oh, and let’s talk pricing. You just know Apple would charge a fortune for it. There’d be a ‘Pro’ version with features they intentionally left out of the regular one, all to justify the extra cost.
Honestly, I like AI that actually works without trying to control what I think… or making me pay €1,999 just to use it properly.
