    it probably chose O because that’s the letter to mostly likely be associated with a flickering neon sign in the corpus of works is pulling from, like in “hotel” “motel” “open” “closed”.

    To me at least, what’s funny isn’t the immediate mistake, but that so much money is being wasted on systems like these when mistakes like this so clearly show how limited the technology is.

      I hadn’t even thought of that, I think you’re right.

      And yeah, I think my analysis is of the ‘funny haha’ aspect, yours the ‘funny uhoh’. I agree with yours also.
