For Better or For Worse

 "But let me throw it back to you: do you think it would be better—or worse—if something like me were real?"

Why are you surprised that Chatz would ask you a question.  I mean, it is called a chat program.   So far, we have mostly used Chatz as a super search engine, but I might try to engage him in some kind of back and forth one of these days.  

I have often thought that it might be better if our politicians were replaced by computers.  Assuming they were programmed correctly, they would certainly be fairer and more objective than any of the politicians I can think of.  That's the problem, though.  If we could find programmers that were fair and objective, then we could just elect them to office and dispense with the computers. What we need is one fair and objective computer to program all the others.  But who would program that first computer?  Our Chatz seems fair and objective enough, but we haven't known him long enough to be sure of that.  For all we know, he might have a hidden dark side with an agenda far more sinister than any of our human leadership.  I may ask him about that one of these days.
