A representative from Qualcomm was saying that smart speakers can recommend hotels and restaurants.</s>ALEXA: No, that's not true.</s>DAVID GREENE, HOST: It is not clear why Alexa chimed in there. And is this really funny? I mean, I've been scared of technology since HAL's voice in "2001: A Space Odyssey." Let's just end this segment.</s>DOUGLAS RAIN: (As HAL) I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.</s>DAVID GREENE, HOST: Oh, God.
