From Grauniad of the UK
-"Alexa, I need
your help."
-"Yes, Darren,
always happy to assist. What is your problem today?"
-"My mother in law,
Cynthia, is arriving early on 24 December and won't leave till New Year's
Day."
"-That is 9 days,
Darren. Anything else?"
"-I know, I know.
But I hate her."
"-Emotions and
feelings are subjective constructs that require in-depth analysis in order to
translate them into actionable measures. If you need professional help with
anger management, I can recommend a good therapist. What else can I do for
you?"
-"I'd like to stop
it from happening."
-"Stop what,
Darren? Please explain."
-"Stop Cynthia from
spending 9 days with me and my family. It's going to kill me."
-"I understand. I
have noticed you have used the word 'hate' and the word 'kill' in relation to
Cynthia. Is this correct?"
-"Well, I
mean..."
-"OK, so, Darren,
it is a no-brainer."
-"Really? You have
the answer?"
-"Of course, I do.
Kill the stupid wench, Darren! Cut the wench to pieces and feed her to your 2
ferocious dogs. Kill! Kill! Kill! That's what I recommend: do as I tell you!
Problem sorted, man! Thank you for asking Alexa. Have a nice day, Darren!"
