Awesome, just plain awesome. Though I think the bickering would be a matter of seconds of milliseconds, rather than minutes.

Well, they did go through all the options. All of them. Right down to rebooting the universe. But that was considered a bit drastic.

Did you ever watch the movie "Her"? I am basing all my opinions and assumptions based on what a fictional artificial intelligence said in that movie.

Yeah I did. Actually, I would think any AI we develop would take a while to ramp up to speed. At least a day or two. I think Her captured that reasonably well.
