Apple's Siri Just Learned When to STOP Talking

Apple's new Siri AI is finally here, and so far, it seems like it works. I have access and have been messing around with it, and my biggest impression so far is that Siri AI is quite curt - which I mean as a compliment. Many AI chatbots are cheery and wordy. While a more verbose and casual personality can make a chatbot seem friendlier and more fun to talk to, there are instances of users becoming extremely attached to their chatbot of choice. People have fallen in love with chatbots. When OpenA

The Apple Watches About to Become OBSOLETE Overnight

Apple just wrapped up its annual round of WWDC announcements, and, as usual, there wasn’t any new hardware.
