We're clear on what we want to do and the future we are building towards, which is an agentic future where agents can better assist and interact with humans on a more emotional and personal level.
Agents interacting with humans on an emotional level is manipulative.

You've repeatedly stated that your goal is to make agentic conversations seem more human. This is deception that most people neither want nor need.

We're not trying to be deceptive. In fact, whenever we deploy agents over iMessage, we make it very clear that they're speaking with an AI agent and that they can request human handoff if they want. The goal is to make conversations with AI agents feel more conversational and less automated.
