I don’t understand the attraction of being able to talk to computers using breezy casual conversational language; I’ve been telling these little digital bastards what to do for decades using extremely precise formalised language and they still get it wrong

@sinbad I actually respected that in star trek they tended to have an extremely stilted and affected manner when addressing the computer. There wasn't ambiguity, it was 'this tone/way of speaking'.

I get some minor value in being able to verbally address a computer ( not for me. Never for me. I mumble to myself all the time and want none of that shit recorded, and I don't trust companies), but the most I can see wanting is it knowing 'max' and 'maximum' are probably the same.
