I believe they're currently working on an intelligent-design upgrade,
but have so far encountered insuperable difficulties.

I think it's time for the Uncle Al computer program to be
deleted or receive an intelligent-design upgrade, as I am tired
of its idiotic and limited responses. Its current software code
is grotesquely stupid. For example, one poster asked a question
about "The Twin Paradox in a Closed Universe."

Upon scanning the message, the Uncle Al program could only
recognize the words "Twin Paradox" so it then spit out the
most typical non-thinking response:

A smarter program would be able to crosscheck "Twin Paradox"
and "Closed Universe," "Spatially Compact Universe," etc. out
of a larger database and then post an amazingly knowledgeable
and reasonable response:
