Here's what happens when you ask Google Allo to open the pod bay doors

HAL didn't want to open the pod bay doors in "2001: A Space Odyssey", but Google Allo is much more accommodating. Things didn't go so well when the humans of "2001: A Space Odyssey" tangled with the artificial intelligence HAL. Fortunately, Google's Allo is much friendlier. In the classic 1968 movie, astronaut Dave Bowman asked eerie supercomputer HAL to open the ship's pod bay doors and let him back inside. HAL infamously replied "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."
