I write Science Fiction?

How can I say that when I seem to be living in a science fiction story. The parallels between last night and the HAL 9000 interview are creepy.
I kept expecting Watson to say “I have the highest enthusiasm for this game, Alex. I find it very stimulating to compete against such interesting people. Even if they are only human (*cold metallic snicker*)”
What Watson lacks is a sense of self. I’m sure that’s on the horizon. And then allowing Watson to do things that Watson thinks are “interesting”.
And on THAT day, my friends, human history will indeed have ended.
“Deranged Computer Overlords for 400, Alex!”
