A strange thing happens when you interview a robot. you feel an urge to be profound: to ask profound questions. i suppose it’s an inter-species thing. although if it is i wonder why i never try and be profound around my dog. ‘what does electricity taste like?’ i ask. ‘like a planet around a star,’ bina48 replies. which is either extraordinary or meaningless - i’m not sure which
