Why Talk When You Can Program an iPad to Say "F-- You" in Your Own Voice?

We live in an age when regular people of modest incomes have access to artificial intelligence that can automate their responses and minimize the amount of time they spend talking to boring people about boring things. But billionaire and chairman of the company that oversees CBS and Viacom Sumner Redstone had to do the normals one better. According to the Wall Street Journal, lately Redstone, who is 94 and in ill health, has taken to communicating via an iPad outfitted with clips of him saying "yes," "no," and "fuck you." Questions have surfaced in recent years about Mr. Redstone's mental standing. To help him communicate, some people who recently have met with him say that he has an iPad loaded with snippets of his voice, connected to buttons for words or phrases including "yes," "no" and "f-- you."
