We have finally created true artificial intelligence.
Introducing... my microwave! It talks! Of course, it's only fitted with a small liquid crystal display and not a speaker, so it more reads than actually speaks. Nevertheless, it not only achieves
communication but accomplishes nothing less than consistent good manners: when I prepare my meal in the microwave, every single time it says to me, ENJOY YOUR MEAL. Without fail. Even after I've been in a foul mood and neglected my usual "thank you, microwave," it doesn't blink; ENJOY YOUR MEAL the very next time.
Equally, my DVD player. It never fails to say GOOD-BYE to me whenever I turn it off.
Recently, I've begun a relationship with my air conditioner.
