I just asked mine 'what color is the sky', and it gave a reasonable answer, which is sourced from NASA.

Might be a lack of corpus? Idk. Seems like if they could perfectly solve translate, that wouldn't be an issue heh heh (strong if).

I can't wait until personal agent AI has advanced to the point where I can ask that and hear "Cerulean blue. Cerulean makes me think of a breeze. A gentle breeze..."
The future AI will find your post on the internet and will answer this as a joke.
Dangit. I shouldn't have said anything, then. I want my personal AI agent to watch all the movies and television shows I have ever watched, and read all the books I have ever read, and play all the video games I have ever played, so that it can make obscure references that I can understand at the appropriate times.

In this case, it would have to know the various names of sky-blue colors, like "azure", "cerulean", "process cyan", or technical answers like "transparent with Rayleigh scattering" or "hue value between 190 and 200 degrees". Then it would have to cross reference that with things I have already seen or read, and then prioritize several potential responses before finally playing me an audio clip from X-Files 3:17 "Pusher", when the eponymous character is being transported in the back of a cop car.
