Comment on How Apple’s Siri Became One Autistic Boy's B.F.F

This story should be an inspiration for the 21-st century version of the "Little Prince" st. Expury.

The Little Prince was about friendship between creatures that need each other. That's actually one of the main ideas of the book: we need each other. From my experience developing a Robin (a product not unlike Siri), I can tell you: yes, some users really adopt the machine as a pet to an extreme degree, but I don't envy these people.
