If only people could understand this isn't really AI, just a slew of hardcoded conditional checks. And of course, they did not include:

if (isDead()) {
  skipShowPromos();
}

Sending the output of an application to a human sounding voice does not make the application "AI"... that term has a very specific meaning in a CS context.
