When my student's first showed me SIRI, I didn't have a smartphone and was basically just going by Stallman ethics (shut up--just saying...).
They said, ask Siri to do anything and she can.
I picked up my students phone and said, "Siri, how do I inactivate Siri?"
They looked nervous and said, "don't ask her THAT!"
I went home and watched "Her https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Her_(film)" and thought, .... who knows?
Perhaps a more relevant question to ask your students at that moment might be; why are they anthropomorphizing a program?
