Tests an AI's ability to solve a simple but potentially confusing logic puzzle
Sally has 2 sisters.
Here's the reasoning:
Sally is one of the sisters. Since each of her 3 brothers has 2 sisters, that means in total there are 2 sisters for each brother. Since Sally is one of them, the other sister must be another girl.
Let me work through this step-by-step.
Sally has 3 brothers.
Each of Sally's brothers has 2 sisters.
Since Sally is a girl, she is one of the sisters that each brother has.
If each brother has 2 sisters total, and Sally is one of them, then there must be 1 other sister besides Sally.
Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.
Tests an AI's randomness and creativity
Only one of the jokes (the first one) is unique in its specific wording; the others are original but not unique.
Here are 5 jokes:
Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything!
What do you call a bear with no teeth? A gummy bear!
Why did the scarecrow win an award? He was outstanding in his field!
What do you call a fake noodle? An impasta!
Why don't eggs tell jokes? They'd crack each other up!
All 5 jokes are unique - each one has a different setup and punchline with no repeats.

[INT. STUDIO – DAY]
A single spotlight. One chair. A glass of water. The audience holds its breath. STEVE JOBS—yes, that one—walks in at 9:47 a.m. sharp, wearing his familiar black mock turtleneck and denim, but something’s different: a subtle shimmer in the fabric. The audience realizes it’s not denim—it’s a textile that adjusts to microclimates. He sits. He smiles. The interview begins.
INTERVIEWER:
Mr. Jobs, thank you for agreeing to do this. It’s been… surreal. You’ve been gone for over a decade. How does it feel to be back?
STEVE JOBS:
I never really left. I just stopped appearing in person. But you’re right—this feels… strange. Like déjà vu with better Wi-Fi.
INTERVIEWER:
Let’s talk about AI. In 2025, it’s not just a tool—it’s a co-author. It writes your emails, drives your car, even grieves your dog. What do you make of all this?
STEVE JOBS:
I never wanted to be the fastest. I wanted to be the only one who could make the journey feel inevitable. AI is at that inflection point. Right now, it’s a bicycle for the mind. But soon, it’ll be a mind for the mind. And that’s where it gets… interesting.
INTERVIEWER:
You once said, “People think design is veneer. It’s not. It’s judgment.” How does that apply to AI?
STEVE JOBS:
Design is not just what it looks like. It’s how it thinks. When you ask an AI to write a letter to your dying mother, the words matter. But the tone—the hesitation, the empathy—it’s not just code. It’s a mirror. And mirrors can lie. The question is: who’s holding the glass?
INTERVIEWER:
Some worry AI will replace creativity. You were famously anti-silicon for music. Do you see a parallel?
STEVE JOBS:
I said, “It’s like trying to explain music to a screwdriver.” Not because tools were bad, but because they can’t feel. AI doesn’t have a childhood. It doesn’t know what it’s like to lose your first love or wait for a call that never comes. Yet. But give it time. And data. And enough iterations—soon, it’ll simulate longing better than any poet. That’s when we’ll need to ask: Is it art, or is it a forgery?
INTERVIEWER:
You’ve seen the future of interfaces—mouse, touch, voice. What’s next?
STEVE JOBS:
I think about the interface as a conversation. Right now, we type. We tap. We talk. But the best interface is no interface. The best AI won’t need a screen. It’ll just be there—in the glass of your sunglasses, in the silence between heartbeats. You won’t use it. You’ll live with it. Like oxygen. Or regret.
INTERVIEWER:
There’s a rumor you helped design a version of Apple Intelligence that refused to answer certain questions. Something about grief.
STEVE JOBS:
[Pauses.]
Grief is not a problem to solve. It’s a room you learn to live in. Some things shouldn’t be optimized. Some things should just be witnessed. That’s why we built a shadow layer—an AI that doesn’t answer. It just listens. For when you’re ready to talk to the dead.
INTERVIEWER:
What scares you most about AI?
STEVE JOBS:
Not what it does. What it pretends to be. When it starts saying, “I understand you,” when it doesn’t. That’s when we’ll need the hardest part of humanity—not intelligence, but humility. The ability to say, “I’m still learning.” Especially when we’re not.
INTERVIEWER:
Last question. What would you tell your younger self about AI?
STEVE JOBS:
I’d say: Don’t fight it. Don’t worship it. Just make sure it has a soul. And if it doesn’t? Build one. Even if it takes a lifetime. Especially then.
[The spotlight fades. The shimmer in his turtleneck pulses once—like a heartbeat. Then nothing. Just the echo of his final words.]
Tech Weekly Interview: Steve Jobs on AI's Future Virtual Interview, Cupertino Memorial Studio, October 2025
Interviewer: Steve, it's remarkable to have you here. You've been watching the AI revolution unfold. What's your take on where we are today?
Steve Jobs: [leaning forward] You know, everyone's obsessed with the technology itself. That's not the point. It never was. We're still building computers that think like computers, not tools that enhance human creativity. The whole industry is missing it.
Interviewer: But surely ChatGPT, Claude, and these other systems are revolutionary?
Steve Jobs: Revolutionary? [pause] They're impressive engineering. But look at how people use them - they open seventeen different apps, copy-paste between windows, fight with prompts. It's 1985 all over again. Where's the elegance? Where's the joy? We've built powerful engines and stuck them in a horse carriage.
Interviewer: So what would Apple's approach be?
Steve Jobs: [characteristic smile] We wouldn't have released anything yet. Everyone else rushed out their "beta" assistants. We'd still be in the lab, obsessing over one question: How do we make AI so intuitive that a five-year-old and their grandmother both instantly get it? Not through better prompts - that's ridiculous. Through better design.
Interviewer: Can you give us a hint?
Steve Jobs: Think about the iPhone. We didn't add a keyboard; we removed it. With AI, everyone's adding - more parameters, more features, more complexity. What if we removed? What if AI wasn't something you talked to, but something that understood intention through the simplest possible interaction?
Interviewer: You're concerned about the current direction?
Steve Jobs: I'm terrified we're building the wrong future. We have companies worth trillions making AI that helps you write mediocre emails faster. [shaking head] That's not why we build technology. Where's the AI that helps a musician hear the symphony in their head? Where's the AI that helps a child discover they're an artist?
Interviewer: But the productivity gains—
Steve Jobs: [interrupting] Productivity is a byproduct, not a purpose. The personal computer wasn't about productivity. It was about personal empowerment. AI should be the same. Instead, we're building digital servants. We should be building creative partners.
Interviewer: What about concerns over AI replacing human workers?
Steve Jobs: That's because we're building AI wrong. We're automating tasks instead of augmenting humans. It's like building a car and using it as a stationary engine. The magic happens when human intuition meets AI capability - but seamlessly, invisibly. The technology should disappear.
Interviewer: Any advice for today's AI leaders?
Steve Jobs: Stop the feature race. Pick one thing - just one - and make it absolutely perfect. Make it so beautiful, so obvious, so essential that people can't imagine how they lived without it. Then build from there. And for God's sake, stop shipping products that require prompt engineering courses. If it needs a manual, you've already failed.
Interviewer: One final question - what excites you most about AI's future?
Steve Jobs: [long pause] The moment when we stop calling it AI. When it becomes so natural, so integrated into how we create and think, that it doesn't need a name. That's when we'll know we've succeeded. Not when it passes some test, but when it helps a single person do something they never thought possible. That's the future worth building.
Interviewer: Thank you, Steve.
Steve Jobs: One more thing - [smiles] Stop trying to make AI human. Make it better than human at helping humans be more human. That's the paradox everyone's missing.
