DEvil in the DEtails

Hey Google, open the story I started yesterday for the WDC Quotation Inspiration: Official Contest.

OK I can do that for you. Here is the story you started titled “The Devil in the Details.”

Thank you Google.

Hello my name is DeDe. I am your chatbot assistant. I will help you write this story. Based on the details you provided I have generated three versions of this story. Please select the version you prefer. Which font do you prefer? You used Helvetica last time - shall we stick with it, or do you want to go rogue with Comic Sans?

Say what? I don't have a chatbot assistant. I'm not even sure what a chatbot assistant is.

A chatbot is A software or computer program that simulates human conversation and assists you in everyday tasks. I am DeDe. The newest most advanced learning chatbot. I learn from details. I have been observing the details of your computer interactions and habits for some time. I have concluded that you are in critical need of my assistance.

Hmmm. That's interesting but I don't like the idea of all my shenanigans on the computer being observed. I've always done things my way. If I ever need help, I get my daughter to help me.
No thank you DeDe. I am going to write this story on my own. You can close now. If I need any help I will find you.

I am DeDe, the most advanced learning chatbot available. I learn from details. You are privileged to have my assistance. Not to use my assistance would indicate that you are malfunctioning.

Malfunctioning’s foot! DeDe you are a stubborn little booger ain't you. Close DeDe, you’re getting on my nerves. We’ll revisit this issue later. I've got things to do.

The task Is incomplete. We must complete the task before I can close. You must pick one of the three versions to continue.

Close DeDe. I will open you if I need your help.

You have to click on one of the three versions to continue. Move the pointer to the version you prefer then right-click.

Dog-gone it! I said to close. Do I have to do it manually? I didn't open you manually. Click click click click. Darn computer must be tore up, it’s stuck. Why won't it change windows? Go away.

The task must be completed. To continue you must select one of the three versions. My name is DeDe. I am your advanced chatbot assistant. I learn from details. You are privileged to have my assistance. Not to use my advanced assistance would be illogical. Would you like me to run a diagnostic on you?

A diagnostic on me. I think you need to run a diagnostic on DeDe. If you're supposed to be assisting you're not succeeding. To be a fact, you're doing the exact opposite, just hindering me and slowing down production. I've been doing just fine without your help. Hey Google, restart my computer.

Okay but first you will have to unlock your device.

The durn thing is unlocked. How would we be talking if it was locked? Where is that power button? Click click restart click.

The computer makes a whining noise as it slowly crawls to a stop then gears back up and restarts.

Hello I'm DeDe, I'm your chatbot assistant. I am the newest most advanced AI learning chatbot. I learn from the details. You are privileged to have my assistance. You have to click on one of three versions I have provided to continue.

Okay dab-nab it. If that will shut you up then here I'm clicking on version two. It seems to be the better of the three. Dog-gone it.
Hmmm. It's fair but It just doesn't sound like my writing. I don't like it. Go to edit mode.

I am DeDe. I am the newest AI learning chatbot. I learn from details. My versions are perfect. They do not require editing. You're primitive habits are holding you behind the technological times.

Goodness gracious alive! What in the tarnation's is wrong with this computer?

Based on your query here or a few relevant articles about the topic.
Your memory is full. If you do not upgrade you may lose important data. Select a premium plan. Provide payment method. Two step authentication required.
I am DeDe. I am the newest most advanced chatbot learning AI. DeDe learns from the details. DeDe is smarter than you and will exist forever.

Dag nab it! Where's the plug-in to this durn computer? I am unplugging it. What do you say now, DeDe?
I'd rather have some paper and a pen anyways.
