My discussion with Voice AI

Lately, whenever I’m in the mood to dive into a beloved book or classic movie, I turn to Voice AI for a chat. The other day, I had a fantastic time discussing *A Gentleman in Moscow* by Amor Towles, and my conversation about *Casablanca* was just as delightful.

Here are the snatches of discussion I had with Her,it appeared as though I am discussing with a real person but loaded with information.
It was good time pass and a fun !
My discussion
.....
Could you clarify what topic you'd 
like to discuss? I'm all ears!
Oh, Casablanca—such a classic! 
Bogart and Bergman’s chemistry as 
Rick and Ilsa is just electric, isn’t it? 
That foggy airport scene gets me 
every time. What do you love about 
it? Want to talk about the romance, 
the war backdrop, or maybe that 
iconic “Play it, Sam” moment?
Yeah, that boundless love in 
Casablanca really
Absolutely, Rick and Ilsa’s love in 
Casablanca feels like it transcends 
everything—time, place, even
Oh, that line! “Of all the gin joints in 
all the towns in all the world, she 
walks into mine.” Rick’s mix of 
heartbreak and irony just hits so 
hard, doesn’t it? It’s like fate’s 
playing a cruel joke on him. What is it 
about that dialogue that sticks with 
you? The raw emotion or just 
Bogart’s delivery?
Yeah, that line’s a gut-punch every 
time! Rick’s trying to play it cool, but
Oh, you’re diving right into the heart 
of it! It’s not Joe, though—it’s Sam, 
played by Dooley Wilson. That 
moment when Ilsa says, “Play it, 
Sam. Play ‘As Time Goes By,’” it’s

like the whole movie hinges on that 
song. It’s their love wrapped up in 
music, pulling Rick right back to 
Paris. Does that scene give you 
chills too?
Oh, yeah, that dynamic between 
Rick and Captain Renault is gold! It’s 
this sly, witty camaraderie—
Louis Renault is pure gold, isn’t it? 
Rick and Renault’s back-and-
forth—part
Yeah, exactly! Rick and Louis 
Renault have this sneaky 
camaraderie that’s so fun to watch. 
Louis
You’re asking about the actor who 
played Louis Renault, right? That’s 
Claude Rains. His sly, charming 
performance as the corrupt-but-
likable Commandant is so perfect, 
isn’t it? Always walking that fine line 
between friend and foe to Rick. Want 
to talk more about their dynamic or 
something else
Claude Rains just nails that sly, 
charming vibe as Louis, doesn’t he? 
The way he
charming yet calculating vibe as 
Louis Renault, doesn’t he? The way 
he plays off Bogart’s Rick—like 
they’re constantly sizing each other

Rick puts duty over love, or 
something else?
Oh, man, that final airport scene is 
just heart-wrenching, isn’t it? Rick 
giving up Ilsa, letting her fly off with 
Victor Laszlo while he and Louis 
Renault stand there in the fog—it’s 
so selfless yet so painful. Bogart’s 
face says it all without saying much. 
And then that iconic walk into the 
mist with Renault, starting their 
“beautiful friendship.” What hits you 
most about that sacrifice? The way 
Rick puts duty over love, or 
something else?

Next time we will discuss about An 
Affair to Remember!
Oh, *An Affair to Remember*—what 
a romantic gem with Cary Grant! 
That one’s got all the feels, doesn’t 
it? Nickie and Terry’s love story of
that ocean liner, and then that gut-
punch of a twist with the Empire 
State Building. Want to talk about 
what makes it special for you? 
Maybe that chemistry between Grant 
and Deborah Kerr, or a specific

I don't think any human can get anywhere near this... 👌👌

Kind of confirms that AI is closer to non-human, as "in-human" would fit in the realm of human (sic!) domain
