Male intern
I asked this on the Board, but since it's a little ways down, I thought I'd ask here as well, just in case. May I borrow the male intern from your introductory piece, and may I name him Frances?

AI page
Regarding your recent edit to Artificial Intelligence: what's wrong with a little joke? Also, I don't understand what you were correcting about the notes that Terminator and the other thing are series, not single movies. In the Terminator series especially, Skynet as AI doesn't even make a serious appearance until the second movie. As it is now, anyone who didn't know better would expect it to play a role in the first movie. ~Neshomeh 16:39, October 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think the problem I had with series notations is that they were sloppy and unequally applied. However, you make a good point. I can fix that issue right way. I stand my ground on the meme thing, though. There's nothing wrong with a little joke, but the 'cake is a lie' reference has become overused. Plus, there might still be a few people who haven't played or heard of Portal. They look at the phrase 'in the worst cases, the rogue AI will lie about offering cakes' and not get it.

 * If we were to avoid any and all jokes that people might not get, the world would be a much less joke-ful place. Couldn't we link to something about "Portal" for those people? Also, for those same people (among others), the joke won't seem overused, either. It can't really be both overused AND so obscure that we have to worry about people not getting it, can it? {= ) Anyway, I think in this particular instance, it's so topically appropriate as to be warranted in spite of its meme status. ~Neshomeh 19:07, October 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Curse you and your reasonable arguments! : ) Seriously though, that's a good idea. The meme can be returned. There'll be no more fuss from me about it. PoorCynic 19:15, October 18, 2010 (UTC)
