So we have talking computers. The normals are losing their minds, and that's pretty concerning. I figure that the problem of the computers hallucinating can be cleared up by connecting them to empirical feedback devices: make them scientists. The problem of normal people treating them as beings and getting effectively hypnotized into living in an artificial world (a "Matrix" like in the movie but without the creches) and controlled like so many electrons in a circuit, well, that's kind of a big deal, eh? These things are far more effective than television, eh? Carl Sagan wrote about the "Demon-Haunted World" and here we are, not having quite banished the old superstitions, rapidly installing a "Daemon-Haunted" world: Alexa, Cortana, et cetera.
