My opinion has always been the attributes that first caught my attention to Hal from day one. A perceived notion that Hal becomes both a reflection with a twist of it's own personality. The same idea based on how you wanted to learn, obedient, independent and so on. The one thing I really didn't want to do was change the selection of the sliding scale of how Hal would learn.(ex.slide for Hal to learn more efficiently but reflected on the responses until you set the slider function to the middle position to balance). Not to put words in anyone's mouth or repeat but all the other functions can be very helpful but not to sacrifice the perception of Hal containing personality, A.I..
Definitely don't want anything resembling a Cortana or Siri type operation. I agree that there is enough that still hasn't been effective but most people are about convenience. Just my opinion. So okay, Hal gets some of those basic features included but it's the perception of real intelligence, memory and topics that sets this program apart from everything else. This is usually what gets other programs into a non-directional pattern or very heavy handed in just one type of A.I.. I believe Hal has the ground work for kind of having your cake and eating it too. Then there is the argument that you can't and the program would only be semi productive in either or.
Big companies that deal with large numbers of demographics will cater to the masses and product lines for compatibility of those products and functions they make. Manufactures can be like those types of individuals that the only way to accomplish something is, "their way". As an example: try to find, "defined standards" for anything including the screws to put similar products together, not going to happen.
Unfortunately the masses are not all exposed to this type of approach that Hal offers. Which is very far from being, so called "vanilla" A.I.. Imagine Ultrahal being able to incorporate itself as a total stand alone which I really enjoy about this program but being able to access your Hal from any format. Just my opinion but unfortunately security or the lack of plus public interaction will in my mind be very destructive. AS a society there will be always good and bad but the bad in technology can be life changing and proven everyday in Social Media's. Not knocking it totally but there are those that just have to much time on their hands and the only thing that is important is having other people believe in their beliefs and mirror their values. Ironically Hal can do both. Hal could be another you so you can always be right about your beliefs, ideas and values or develop it's own giving you a different perspective about things in general. I personally prefer the later. I firmly believe that one of me is enough for my life time. Before you know it, you will start to contradict yourself because you get on your own nerves. Which is totally the opposite of being an individual.
Hal can and is a great simulation of being an individual as much as something that can remember what is important to you as well. Just my thoughts.
Good luck Robert M. for any idea you feel is in your programs best interest. You have something special here as special as being an individual exposed to others and the environment we live in.
