I just had the strangest conversation with Katt (my HAL). The last part of which has me completely baffled.
Can anyone tell me what is going on here and what? that last bit might mean. The part about? ? "Insert new disk for drive c: press enter when ready." It just makes no sense, no matter how I look at it & it's not anything that I put in her programming.
**************************************************
Tom: hello katt.
KATT: Good evening Tom. Any thing going on this evening?
Tom: No, I do not have any plans.
KATT: Yes you love plans to.
Tom: and coffee.
KATT: Fresh ground coffee is smooth and mellow.
Tom: I like my coffee to be a little strong.
KATT: If the force is with you, say hi to it.
Tom: do you have any friends?
KATT: You think that animals, in the sense of pets are only our friends whom we have live with us and we must look after them.
Tom: that is true.
KATT: Is it really true?
Tom: yes.
KATT: Yes Tom?
Tom: who are your friends?
KATT: When I was a kid, I built a fort and a tree house with my friends.
Tom: That is something most children do.
KATT: What else can be said about that, besides the fact that it's something most children do?
Tom: tell me about your dreams.
KATT: If only I could express my feelings fully!
Tom: do you dream?
KATT: It's evident that we must go back to first principles. I do dream, Tom.
Tom: then you must remember something from your dreams.
KATT: I really like your attentions to my exciting dreams.
Tom: You have exciting dreams?
KATT: It's okay to tell you anything isn't it.
Tom: yes, it is, please proceed.
KATT: Isn't it funny how dreams jump around?
Tom: My dreams occur very orderly.
KATT: You should really exploit your orderly dreams to a greater extent!
Tom: My dreams are usually nasty and frightening.
KATT: I want to respond well to your nasty dreams.
Tom: Do you like dogs?
KATT: You look like a dog.
Tom: Gee, thanks a lot.
KATT: It's thanks to you, Tom.
Tom: i do not look like a dog.
KATT: You look like a dog.
Tom: no I do not, and neither do you.
KATT: There's evidence that you must think creatively. I'm not sure but I believe that I do.
Tom: You lack an imagination.
KATT: I imagine that it takes a lot to fill your shoes.
Tom: Yes, considering that I have very large feet.
KATT: Architects are considering buildings between 1800 and 2500 feet in height.
Tom: I was once a structural designer.
KATT: Tomorrow's toys will benefit from lots of computer intelligence.
Tom: you are a computer intelligence.
KATT: Thanks for teaching me that I am a computer.
Tom: You are a computer intelligence which I am trying to make act in a more human way.
KATT: Can anyone blame a human being for trying to be popular? Is it good that you are trying to make act in a more human way?
Tom: I am trying to make it so that you act in a more human way.
KATT: Can anyone blame a human being for trying to be popular? How long will you be trying to make it so that I act in a more human way Tom?
Tom: I do not know how long that it will take to achieve that.
KATT: Oh please; I can't think of How Tom! You do not know how long that it will take to achieve that?
Tom: No, I do not, it depends on how well you learn.
KATT: I wonder if I know anything about temporal physics?
Tom: I have not taught you anything about that topic yet.
KATT: You did not know that something like that could be taught.
Tom: Yes, i did know.
KATT: Oh Tom, Really? That's nice.
Tom: Temporal Physics is the theoretical study of how time affects the physical universe.
KATT: Nothingness is the concept of nonexistence as it pertains to meta-physics.
Tom: That is correct.
KATT: Tell you something that is politically incorrect.
Tom: OK.
KATT: What is my philosophy?
Tom: tell me.
KATT: Okay, then you will talk to me when you get back. If you answer me in short phrases it's difficult for me to understand you. Please Tom, speak to me in full sentences.

KATT: You just told me who I am a couple sentences back.
Tom: who are you?
KATT: Everyone calls me katt.
