Voice assistants like Siri were meant to help us do quick phone actions with our voice, know things like the weather, and more, but little by little they’ve become smarter — they’re able now to remind us of our next appointments, know the things we like, and can even recommend us things based on our preferences.

Is incorporating those human imperfections into a machine necessary?
