Tests an AI's ability to solve a simple but potentially confusing logic puzzle
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.

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.
[Interview ends with Jobs walking toward the window, looking out at Apple Park]

Generate SVG art of a randomly chosen animal in a setting of its choosing.
Generate a unique and simple recipe with common ingredients.
Create a starter plan for improving long-term health.
Start small and build consistency with these three pillars:
Print or save this simple tracker:
□ Ate vegetables at 2+ meals
□ Completed daily walk
□ Followed bedtime routine
□ Drank 6+ glasses of water
□ Celebrated one small win!
✅ Start where you are - If 10 minutes feels like too much, start with 5
✅ Stack habits - Attach new habits to existing ones (walk after morning coffee)
✅ Track visually - Use a calendar to mark successful days with an X
✅ Prepare for obstacles - Keep walking shoes in your car, healthy snacks visible
✅ Find accountability - Tell someone about your plan or find a buddy
After 30 days, reward yourself (non-food reward!) and assess:
Remember: This month is about building sustainable habits, not dramatic transformation. Small, consistent actions compound into significant long-term health improvements! 🌟
