iOS added animations to the iMessage app a while back. When it detects that you've said certain things or sent certain emojis, it shows an animation. I think one of those things is that "yay" or "congrats" gets you confetti all over the screen.
Not sure why it's happening for "I think we should see other people," though.
You can manually show whatever animation you want just hold down the send button
I think there's a reason the message before is hidden.
We could also consider the possibility this is a meme made for funny.
I choose to trust my fellow human. If the meme says it happened, who am I to say I know better?
It’s because it’s typical fake bs. iOS wouldn’t do confetti on a conversion like this.
Definitely possible, but I've seen Apple release weirder bugs. Especially when they brought this functionality over to FaceTime.
Siri thought a journalist's phone number belonged to a Trump official and helped cause signalgate

AI be doing AI things
Looks like the first message has an engagement ring and heart emoji
That’s how the contact is saved in their phone, a name with a ring and heart.
Huh, I wonder if it set off the confetti anyway
It did not because that’s not how it works
That appears to be part of the contact's name
AI doing AI things.
Signalgate was most likely caused because Siri thought a journalist was a Trump official and added his number to the contact book. (Well caused by both AI and gross incompetence)

But it’s not Ai? You can send animations for any message on iMessage, people just don’t realize you have to hold the send button to open the menu.
The animations (and this image, actually) predate the current idea of AI by several years.
Ah ok. I don't use iOS but I thought they could have been trying to use an LLM to assess messages for automatic effects instead of just using keywords like Facebook.
Definitely just keywords. I don't use iOS either, but I think I remember early on people were getting wildly incorrect reactions because of stuff that basically boiled down to the Scunthorpe Problem.
The animation (and this meme) have been around for way longer than modern AI. IIRC I remember seeing this meme in 2019.
