Funny thing seen today

They say science fiction never really predicts the future, and yet Captain Picard says “tea, earl grey, hot” in that meticulous way observed only in someone with a slightly unusual accent who’s finally figured out the exact cadence and phrasing their voice activated smart-whatever actually understands and suspects if they allow their tone to vary

I can hear him now! I have a specific "talking to Alexa' voice :)

[epiphyta]

I absolutely have a "talk to the Google Assistant" voice. Dear Friend H. sometimes will ask me to set it to the "British Racing Green" female voice (which sounds a lot like the one Jameela Jamil used for Tahani in The Good Place), then sit and have conversations with it, just to wind it up. We make our own fun.

*giggle-snorts imagining Picard's reaction if a live ocelot appeared instead of his usual cuppa*

[epiphyta]

Wouldn't it be lovely if the reaction was "Kitty!" and the offer of a lap?

[cairistiona7]

I think that would be more Data's reaction. *g*

Like CW, that would be my "Alexa, do....play...whatever" voice.
:D

[epiphyta]

I do the same!
