Is it smart to have artificial intelligence?

The help is getting surly. We were in Brooklyn heading to a favorite Mexican dive when a pal, Demetri, asked about a movie we'd seen recently. My wife, Wink, happened to be using the voice recognition system on her phone at the moment, and suddenly came a stern rebuke along these lines: "There's no need to talk to me like that." Demetri, startled, mumbled a good-natured apology, but the voice evidently was too miffed to reply. Why an inquiry about "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" prompted disapproval, we'll never know.
