Listen to H.A.L. 9000 and S.A.L. 9000 - the extremely intelligent computers from the movies 2001: A Space Odyssey and 2010: The Year We Make Contact - put on a comedy routine. While making my H.A.L. 9000 project, I was tempted to insert some humor, but I realized that it would ruin the atmosphere. So I made a separate project instead. This is the original project: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/415831226/ I have taken some artistic liberties in this project. The design of HAL & SAL is a bit different from the movies (the frame with a speaker below and logo on top is missing), and the light in the camera lens flickers noticeably as it speaks, which makes no sense for a camera lens to do, but it makes it a bit more interesting to watch and more obvious who is saying what.
Art by me based on stills from the movies. The voices are from the Text to Speech extension. I borrowed one joke from The Lego Ninjago Movie and one from Frost 2. If you have seen them you will recognize them immediately. Challenge: How many AI references you can spot? Bonus points if you can spot them all without looking at the text inside ;)
