Organizer or Planner app

Let me see if I can explain what I am seeking. Scott's post got me to thinking about this. I want to find a Mac app that I can use to organize or plan my projects and help me prioritize tasks. Nothing fancy. Where Scott's post comes in is if there is some level of intuition that

Jessica, it’s a pretty complicated process but basically, what you say is broken down in to it’s stems or root values. From this set of values you can build very complex decision trees that provide responses based on the mathematical value of the phrase received. Works on a similar way that

Re: Very creepy experience with Siri

Wow, so Siri is programmed to respond with information about Katelyn instead of Bruce. Clearly, in that case I suspect a human made that association in software but I don’t know that for sure. I’m going to assume it’s the most likely possibility though unless things are progressed further

Re: Very creepy experience with Siri

Finally had a chance to read this thread. I was going to share a fairly recent example of Siri's thinking in a self aware fashion, not something I have done personally, but about which I read. Try asking Siri who is Bruce Jenner? ...however I feel your experiences are more ahem fascinating.

Re: Very creepy experience with Siri

Actually, that’s partly right and partly wrong. Systems like Siri started out using canned responses and a big pile of if then statements. General machine intelligence has progressed a lot lately and now some of the responses are self determined and generated. There’s no one for one matching
