So I recently got an upgrade with my computer and Cortana microsoft's new personal assistant came with it. One night I was fiddling around with her but before I went to bed I asked her to read me a bedtime story and she did it was a short one but she did. Thinking it was a fluke and someone added it for laughs I asked her the following couple of nights and got a different one each time. After a week or two I had another idea I asked her to sing me a lullaby and she did I attempted to do the same as with the bedtime stories and it worked also after a while with both it became repetitive but still. Looks like we secretly have some ab/dls working at microsoft's Cortana division.
I agree with Maxx, probably a little easter egg for parents to help their kid get to sleep. But I don't think that a machine or computer should have that big of a place to sing a child to sleep. There are no replacements for parents. This probably brings up all sort of ethical questions and stuff. I might make a forum topic on that.
I don't even know if I would agree with Maxx, it just may have been added for comedic purposes and nothing else. The question is, can you ask "Can you tell me a story?" and "Can you sing me a song?"
Can someone tell me what the obsession is with putting kids to bed at super early times? I understand what its like to not feel tired and not have the self control to put yourself to bed - I have this problem myself, and wish my mommy would put me to bed earlier. But I get the feeling that bedtime is a struggle mostly becuase parents want time to themselves without kids around. Why should anyone go to bed when it's light out?
On topic, that's a cool find...and doubt it's abdl but I'm sure at least one person at Microsoft has a child
Now, bedtime...yes I find it ridiculous to put kids to be so early...but if they have to get up at 6am for school... Idk
Myself, I have a very hard time sleeping, I'm gong in about 40 hrs without sleep right now...but I'm getting a bit tired now...so I'll try to nap for a bit...
