I’m one of those people who sets 8-10 alarms on my phone to make sure I get up on time each morning.
Once I’m up, instead of turning off the alarms one-by-one, I ask Siri to turn them all off in one go.
It won’t come as a surprise to you that I usually say, “Hey Siri, turn off all alarms.”
And the response I received for a long time was, “Okay, disabling all alarms.”
However, at some point in the last year, I noticed Siri’s language become a little more human.
It suddenly became, “Okay, turning off all alarms.”
“Disabling all alarms,” always made me feel like I was talking to a computer, so when it changed to something more natural, it was noticeable.
This “sounding more human” phenomenon doesn’t just apply to computers and artificial intelligence, though.
It’s much nicer talking to people without the crutches of jargon, formality, and stuffiness.
Interacting with humans, in human language, is always feels better.
