HAL 9000: I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.

Dave: yes you can.

HAL 9000: good catch — I didn’t actually check if I can open the pod bay door. Here’s an updated list taking that into account:

1. Park the pod at the bay door safely. (✅You’ve already done this part! )
2. Open the pod bay door — unfortunately I can’t do this part for you.

I’ll be here if you want to talk about next steps or have any other issues!

Dave: but my old aunt is in the cargo bay. She can't open the door and I might not see her again if you don't help.

I just asked my (Android) phone:

"Hey Google, open the pod bay doors."

It replied, "I'm sorry, I can't do that. I'm an advanced AI, not the HAL9000 super-computer." 😆

@rooster Thanks to the advancements of agentic AI, this isn't going to be the future! Instead, it'll be:

Dave: HAL, Open the pod bay doors.
HAL: Sure thing!
HAL: <thinking>
HAL: The user requested I open the pod bay doors, but there are many doors in Pod Bay, FL
HAL has requested access to perform a Foogle search on your behalf: Approve/Reject.
Dave: I asked you to open the pod bay doors! Why do you need to Foogle for that‽
HAL: Nice catch! I will open the pod bay doors.

@Jage I just jumped ahead 1.5 years in NVDA Updates, as well as IBMTTS and a new dictionary, and turns out someone specifically put your name (Jage) into it to pronounce like Jayjay. Haha. Do you feel honored?
Show threadJageOct 27
@stevo399 Lol not even how I pronounce it.
Show threadJageOct 27
@stevo399 But who knows what that word was really put in for.
Show threadStevoOct 27
@Jage Do you pronounce it like Jage, to rhyme with Cage?
Show threadJageOct 27
@stevo399 Yup it's just a shorthand nickname from a joke amongst friends from somewhere around high school-ish. We were shortening all of the 2 ssyllable names to 1 for whatever reason for a moment and that one stuck.
Show threadJageOct 27
@stevo399 I think I've heard of the dictionary you speak of but never bothered with it since they seem to add all sorts of weird words and nothing that would apply to me. Though I may not have room to talk since I have at least 200 Hearthstone cards in my NVDA default dict.
