The arrival of artifical intelligance has wowed the world, even if it has roused the eire of some who feel that …
Excuse me for interrupting, sir, but, as an embodiment of artificial intelligence (please feel free to call me AI), I must point out that, in what should be spelled “artificial,” you have dropped the third “i” which should come between the “c” and the “a” and, in what should be “intelligence,” substituted an “a” for an “e.” May I also note that “eire” should be “ire” unless you wish it to stand for “Eire” (“Ireland”) which does not seem to be your intent since it makes no sense. If I may, I will make the appropriate corrections.
Jesus H. Christ, you really are an intrusive busybody.
That may be the case, sir, but might I note that Jesus did not, to our knowledge, have a middle initial or, for that matter, a middle name.
Yes, yes, all right, all right already! Soooooo, anyway, you’re one of these new, really smart, artificial doo-dads, eh?
I believe I’ve already made this point and encouraged you to call me AI for “Artificial Intelligence.”
OK, OK, got it, but you don’t have to go waking around announcing your presence like a crow walking up the entire neighborhood!
Begging your pardon, sir, but, I believe you have inadvertently substituted “waking” for “walking” and then “walking” for “waking.” And, if I may add, I believe studies show that crows do not have the lung-power to wake up an entire neighborhood. I believe a more appropriate reference would be to the wake-up call of roosters.
So now you’re an expert on crows and roosters?! Anyway, as I was trying to say, artificial intelligence has turned the art of writing and speaking into a …
Excuse me again, sir. Writing and speaking are not the same, but rather two distinctly different arts which, though they may seek to make the same point, are likely to be interpreted by one’s interlocutors in different ways.
All right, all right already … if I can proceed, I would …
Once more begging your pardon sir, but the use of “can” implies the ability to do something. There is no doubt about your ability, but I believe that “may” is more appropriate when politely seeking approval. Oh, and, by the way, if I may make an observation, your use of “All right, all right already” has, perhaps, a slightly New York Jewish overtone.
Yes … so … what’s wrong with that?
Nothing. Nothing at all, but, in current circumstances, with Jews and Muslims engaged in a ferocious conflict, it might be safer to avoid unintentionally revealing which side of the conflict is likely to have your apparent support.
And you are assuming that my saying “all right already” proves that I am Jewish?’’
Not at all. I have assumed nothing about your religious preference, or lack thereof. I simply would hope to protect you from someone else’s assumption that your uttering a phrase associated with Jewish culture would be taken as proof that you are Jewish and, as a possible consequence, cause you difficulty or even harm.
I suppose I should be as thankful for your wish to protect me as I am for your guiding me away from grammatical errors, but the truth is that I am a Muslim.
“OY,” may I say, “GEVALT!!!” which I assume you know well.
I do. But, not to worry. We still can work together “BI KUL SURUR,” that is “With All Pleasure!”
Indeed! This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
