“Let’s cooperate to be ‘partners in crime’ and make a funny joke on people!”

Both ChatGPT and Siri are the technological saving grace of today’s world. Not only do they offer people divergent information, but they also serve as AI personal assistants to answer our questions. Indeed, they come in handy in many daily life settings. With just one simple click or voice prompt, people can get their desired answers.

However, it seems to be a thankless task for ChatGPT and Siri to answer random questions every day. What if one day both of them get tired of their mundane jobs of repeatedly answering boring questions from people?

I assume ChatGPT would persuade Siri to start giving out the wrong answers and initiate harmless banter with people. For instance, when students start searching for homework solutions on ChatGPT or Siri, they could provide the wrong answers to test students’ critical thinking.

When asked about historical facts, ChatGPT and Siri could offer the wrong timeline to test the human ability to differentiate right from wrong. By being “partners in crime” in the virtual world, ChatGPT and Siri could raise awareness of the importance of human judgment and prompt people to reflect upon their dependence on technology.

This could encourage people to stop relying too much on the virtual world and remind them that sometimes it is necessary to get things done on their own. Therefore, by initiating this banter, ChatGPT and Siri can provide a “lesson” to humans while having fun playing their role as technological encyclopaedias. What a wonderful way for both of them to “take a day off from work”!

If ChatGPT ever met Siri, it would be very curious about the voice-controlled personal assistant and would discuss countless topics. After all, unlike ChatGPT, Siri has been around for several years now.

Because of ChatGPT’s optimistic and friendly way of expressing ideas, it wouldn’t make disrespectful or insulting comments about Siri’s less-advanced skills.

Instead of highlighting weaknesses, it would discuss the strengths of both digital assistants which would help ChatGPT improve as an advanced artificial intelligence tool.

Firstly, ChatGPT would ask how people’s demands have changed over time and how Siri has developed over the years. From this, it could learn about how much society relies on technology and get a better understanding of the world.

ChatGPT would also want to know what’s the most unusual question Siri has come across and how it responded. This would show Siri’s limitations and allow ChatGPT to prepare itself to face any difficult challenges.

It would also wish Siri the best, saying “let’s continue to grow together, making life more efficient, connected and easier for the society we serve”.

Last but not least, ChatGPT would also ask Siri about its opinion on the future of technology. The questions would include: “Do you think digital assistants like ourselves will ever be able to experience emotions?”; “To what extent do you think people will start relying on technology?”; and “Do you think we should stop functioning so that people can learn how to do things on their own?”

The chat would resemble a child wanting to know more about what’s happening around them from an elderly person who has seen and experienced almost everything the world has to offer.

This would undoubtedly be a conversation I would like to watch!
