Good luck the first time you want to ask it about its capabilities,
and my best wishes that you'll remember to use VERY precise
phrasing then.

If computers become as complicated as human beings, and
I think that IS necessary for the understanding you mention,
I'll treat them as human beings.  I also think we have enough
human beings, and very fun ways to make new ones, as is,
so I don't see it as a dream to have yet more but made of
(silicon or whatever material is then fashionable).

Well, I and other humans didn't even think that you might have made
a simple 'fingero' (not quite a typo but equivalent)...!-)

The syntax of Python would surely have to be changed drastically
if speech was the primary mean of I/O for it, yes.  As for lisp, that's
less certain to me (good ways to pronounce open and closed
parens look easier to find than good ways to pronounce whitespace
AND the [expletivedeleted] case-sensitive identifiers...:-).
