Mmm what to call my home automation box. ( no I'm not caliing it jarvis. Stop suggesting jarvis. fuck jarvis)
Current top contender is either ORAC or Trantor.
i called mine orac 🤷♀️ because who wouldn't 🤭
The craw is Orac would be highly insulted at being utilised thusly. Marvin is just begging for suicidal appliances, and Holly is out for broadly similar reasons.
how about "Talkie toaster"
Would you like some toast?
Yes please. 😊
You fool!
George, a nickname for aircraft autopilot.
Zora, USS Discovery's ship computer.
Athena, the computer for Watchpoint Gibraltar, Orca, and match announcer in Overwatch.
Depends. Evil - HAL, Friendly - R2D2
Heartbeep:
Idk wtf that is but i have a strong urge to kill it with fire
from a 1981 sci fi called "Heartbeeps" heh.
Fuckit I'm calling my irrigation controller 'TORG'.
pretty sure that's the robot from Intergalactic 🤭 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qORYO0atB6g
Awful, awful film. Great for drinking games.
That would only inflame the desire in its heart.

AM
HAL9000
Marvin the Paranoid Android
The Red Queen
Red Queen is another contender, i'll admit - but i feel going for murderous AI may be begging for trouble.....
AM is RIGHT the fuck out.
