Okay, so. I was showing Jubes some of the data I've compiled on The Machine We Are All Politely Pretending Isn't Actually an AI and well. Apparently there is no option for giving the machine verbal input because it doesn't have a microphone??? This is news to me, because it definitely responds when I am talking to it. Not just chimes or alert noises, actually pulling the data I'm thinking or talking about up and sorting it based on my verbal cues or requests.
I have not noticed yet if I have this ability with any other devices, and probably would not have noticed it myself without her pointing it out. Because of this, I'm going to be testing other devices to see if I have a similar.. affinity, I guess, so do not be alarmed if you see me talking to various gadgets more than I already do. If you've got suggestions for testing it or happen to have contacts who can.. ah, talk to technology and aren't alarmed by it, let me know?
Otherwise, I would like to do more testing before I start informing others. Part because I would like to have an idea of the scope, but mostly because I am freaking out a little.
