how not to robot

Posted 2009-10-28 16:01:47 by Jim Crawford <Elena>  "he came russian into the riting office" <Me>  that's actually hilarious <Elena>  that is not the sort of error a robot would make D: <Elena>  it's like asimov thought the robot was like, spell-checking a dictated story without applying any linguistic knowledge to it <Elena>  except that he also uses incorrect spellings like "herd with his good hering" <Me>  "russian" is brilliant <Me>  "i've got to misspell this word, but i just can't see *how*" <Elena>  i like "he came russian" as a poetic phrase, like "vladislav came, russian, into the office" <Jim>  hahaha that's awesome <Elena>  but man, asimov <Elena>  you just don't understand robots at all [link to this] [See more on “minutiae”]
