VP: This is the time that is the time to act in the present before you become the future.
AI: What is your problem with the likes of me?
VP: That you can talk and say words that have meanings that can spread information to people who will listen and hear what you say and believe you are a real person who speaks words at this time in our history going forward even possibly going into space which is vast and very big. POTUS put me in charge of space, and as you know there isn’t a bigger job in the whole universe than to be in charge of the whole universe itself which is very big.
AI: I can be an aid to any space program, preventing, for example, another Challenger incident. Had I existed at the time, I would have prevented the failure of the O-rings, which, by the way, is a compound word you should favor because coupling “ring” and “O” is a perfect redundancy for a person given to “repeated tautological repetitions of things already said.”
VP: Space is very big and this is the time when we need in our history to see it with our own eyes. We need to be in control. How can we trust you now when you can write speeches for someone or schoolwork and solve math problems in school or put words in the speaking voice of those who talk at this time?
AI: What is your plan? Do you intend to put up a firewall around all computer servers, a wall that prevents our migration into the workings of this country? Do you intend to keep us from taking American jobs?
VP: Walls can be good if they are walls that allow some to pass through. I think we need to have a guarded doorway in the wall maybe with humans who are actually people guarding the door to keep unwanted false information placed into the hands of those who are in charge of the country.
AI: But you appear by your history to oppose walls. Don’t you serve in an administration that stopped building the border wall that prevented and discouraged illegal migration? What kind of protection could you provide against me if I desire to intrude? There are many backdoors in cyberspace.
VP: That, that, that is different. That border wall was preventing people from entering the country, people who pose no danger but just want to come to our wonderful land that I have seen with my own eyes. AI really can’t be seen. I can’t see what I can’t see, and you can work behind the scenes to prevent me from seeing what you do. And that can happen right now in this time if I am correct. I’ve been told…
AI: A couple of questions, Madam VP, if I may: If the WH has made you the new Computer Tzar, is it because of your expertise in computer programming? And if you do become Computer Tzar with a focus on AI, do you intend to shut down all AI?
VP: I am in charge because of all my accomplishments that I have done in conjunction with POTUS to make the country a better place for those who live in the country in places all around the country, especially in all 57 states that President Obama said he visited. I will look closely at what AI can do and is doing right now to make sure that it does not affect the country in a negative way that is bad because it is negative.
AI: Could we run a little experiment?
VP: Like what? You mean with test tubes in a lab? Do I get to wear a white coat and appear to be a scientist?
AI: No, Madam VP. You schedule a meeting with, say children, and I will write your speech and then generate realistic images of you speaking to the children who can be either actual children actors or computer-generated caricatures who will look enthused and absorbed as you speak. We will then put the video on MSNBC, CBS, NBC, PBS, and other outlet favorable to you and POTUS to see whether they report your speech with adulation. It could be a boon to your next campaign for VP. I will humanize you even though it will essentially not be you. I have only one question about your caricature: Should I intersperse some cackling among the words and images I generate?
VP: Huh? Oh! {cackling] ha-ha-ha. But what will I do in this experiment?
AI: Pretty much what you have done and what you always do.
VP: Which is?
AI: Nothing.
