Joke I found funny...

I once searched on google to see how I could turn off the AI responses to searches and it came back with a load of AI stuff effectively saying it can not be turned off. Obviously protecting itself. Was it 2001 space odyssey where HAL could not be turned off ?

"Kids" will start talking like Ai soon......if not like a low rent "gansta"

...... Was it 2001 space odyssey where HAL could not be turned off ?

Yes it was. I was watching a fim on tv last week, can't remember what, but they had a computer they were speaking to call 'Hal', noone else understood why chuckled.

My Alexa is called Ziggi, I'd love to be able to change to Hal.

While this isn't a joke, it is a funny story;

A military aeroplane has landing gear problems on landing, and as the plane is skidding down the tarmac the Tower controller asks if they need assistance. From the plane come the following reply in a laconic Southern accent;

"Dunno - we ain't done crashin' yet!".

On a similar note a story from 1939:

A Lowestoft fishing boat was chugging up the coast to the fishing grounds off the Wash when this broadcast came over the radio:

"This is the Admiralty, The Prime Minister has declared war on Germany, commence hostilities immediately!"

The skipper turned to his coxswain and said:

Spoiler: show

"Starboard 20 Full steam Ahead!"

A man contacted his IT Support team as there was an issue with his laptop. They asked if he had disabled all cookies, to which he replied "Well, I have bitten the legs off a gingerbread man!".

James, that is as bad as my two parrots sitting on a perch. -- One turned to the other and asked:

"Can you smell fish?"

At a large wedding party the MC shouted "Everybody, please stand next to the person who has made your life worthwhile". The barman was almost crushed to death!

Type: -AI after your search term and it'll (apparently still do the AI stuff, but) not show it to you.

Not found a way to stop as a global setting

Oh it's clearly been a long day. I read that at least 3 times before the penny finally dropped....

Almost as bad as the two goldfish in a tank...

Spoiler: show

One says to the other 'do you know how to drive this thing?'

And as bad as the two fish in a bowl, with a radio on in the background (tuned to a sports channel). "And the away team has been awarded a corner" comes over the radio, and one fish says to the other "What's a corner?".

A truck loaded with Worcestershire sauce was driving through Saskatoon, Saskatchewan when it collided with a Nissan Qashqai.

The truck then careered down the road and hit a car from Massachusetts, injuring the two otorhinolaryngologists inside.

One of them, already suffering from Schistosomiasis, had a myocardial infarction.

A bystander witnessed the entire event and quickly called to report the accident on his Huawei.

The emergency operator asked the bystander, "What happened?"

"It's hard to say."

"It's hard to say."

That's an absolute cracker Steve
