I believe this violates the single responsibility principle...

But seriously, do you really want all the Jeeves text showing up in your chat? Isn't that kind of annoying - like showing your friends your working when trying to give them the answer to a math equation?

As it should violate because single responsibility is not applicable to this use case.

JEEVES text showing up in our chat is useful when I ask JEEVES to do something for us. Remember JEEVES does not show up till we ask for "it". Also remember this conversation is about planning to meet up for a movie not discussing some topic or sharing some content or having witty back and forth.

My point isn't whether it could be useful, but that it might be more annoying to have that in a chat conversation...

I was half joking about the single responsibility thing - I do kind of think though that chat should be for chat, and not for searching for movie timetables.
