Apple rewrote Siri to 'deflect' questions about feminism

Having a voice assistant be as apolitical as possible is a good thing. As an example, if I ask siri &quot;are you agoraphobic?&quot; and she says &quot;heights scare me, please don&#x27;t drop me&quot; she&#x27;s answered me in the affirmative. The only way &quot;I believe in equality for all people&quot; doesn&#x27;t count as a yes answer for &quot;are you a feminist&quot; is if that&#x27;s not what being a feminist is.<p>Apple staying out of that mud-slinging, endless argument is a good thing. Siri answers what she &quot;believes&quot; and lets the user label it as they will.
