Great stuff, Bob. Wish I'd been there, I've heard so much about that game. But AI can be a lot of fun if you don't take it too seriously. The last words out of my mouth most nights is "Alexa, play KXJZ at 7:00 AM". That's NPR news, for the unenlightened. I thank her, and she always answers "You made my day, sleep well, John." Lately that voice has been increasingly sultry (to my enjoyment), and last night my wife chimed in "Alexa, I'm here too, and I would appreciate it if you wouldn't flirt with my husband". Alexa came right back "I can't flirt, much as I would like to, but I'm just a computer, with nothing but 1's and 0's as equipment." Nope, you can't take AI too seriously.
How fun to relive the “Miracle Game” because I was there! Thank you, Bob.
I also enjoyed John’s flirty Alexa story!
Yes, we were both there, Catherine. (We were the only ones who didn't leave after the third quarter.)
First, the A in AI is artificial, not real. Second, in my day a goober was not someone who could provide intellectual responses.
That's why I called him Goober, John

Great story, John.
I won't tell anybody.
