I wonder if Apple kept an electronic version of Steve to consult on design questions...

I wonder if Apple kept an electronic version of Steve to consult on design questions...

Mate, Siri can't even make a call to a person when I'm driving because it doesn't have any offline capabilities. I find it highly doubtful Apple could create an electronic version of Steve that says anything other than "I'm sorry, I can't take any requests right now".

Its not there yet - at least with Siri. Cortana and Google Now are better but they're basically search engines. I don't see any sort AI that helps with interactions.

"One more thing..."

The design is fine. "You're just holding it wrong."

That's quite the entrance grand entrance for Steve. Somehow I don't think he would be doing something like that in the 2000's.

I'm waiting for the "if there was an electronic Steve around things would be the way they are now!"

That was great; so insightful. The second guy was clever, especially the story of building the wall.
