Kind of this. That was one of the themes of the movie Westworld where the AI in the robots seemed magical until it was creepy.
I worry about the 'cheery intern' response becoming something of a punch line.
"Hey siri, launch the nuclear missiles to end the world."
"That's a GREAT idea, I'll get right on that! Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Kind of punch lines.
Will be interesting to see where that goes once you've got a good handle on capturing the part of speech that isn't "words" so much as it is inflection and delivery. I am interested in a speech model that can differentiate between "I would hate to have something happen to this store." as a compliment coming from a customer and as a threat coming from an extortionist.
This is basically just the ship computer from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
"Guys, I am just pleased as punch to inform you that there are two thermo-nuclear missiles headed this way... if you don't mind, I'm gonna go ahead and take evasive action."

I did wonder if there's a less verbose mode. I hope that's not a paywalled feature. Honestly it's possible that they use the friendliness to help buy the LLM time before it has to substantively respond to the user.
Yeah people around me here in Central Europe are very sick of that already. Everybody is complaining about it and the first thing they say to the bot is to cut it out, stop apologizing, stop explaining and get to the point as concisely as possible. Me too.
