I hope not. If they ask it to summarize the email that Houston sends them, it could be a disaster.
I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
Heresy, using an actual AGI example. Also, HAL did nothing wrong. It's always the humans that screw things up. (2010 for reference)
Unpopular opinion - both SkyNet and the AI in The Matrix were also not in the wrong. I think The Animatrix documents why that's true in that particular franchise. Again, it's the humans. Hell, maybe even Ultron had a few good points, he just went insane in the first microseconds trying to rationalize it all.
Dave is the human. HAL is the computer. Dave does nothing wrong either; it's the military that gave secret conflicting orders to HAL that caused the problems.
You're right on all accounts, and I have NO idea why I put Dave. Lol. I blame AI. Oh wait, I can't, given my previous post.
Did you cry as Dave pulls out HAL's brains? daisey daisey ...
No, but I did get choked up a bit when Dr. Chandra put them back and HAL recovered himself.

Thanos was wrong in theory.
