These days it says, "I'm sorry I can't help with that," but once a few years ago it said, "I can't be sure but the couch is a good place to start."

LOL I bet it freaked people out so they had to remove it.

Speech recognition software was a mistake. Overrated.

The algorithm is able to track words spoken in streams, and prevent users from saying what they actually want to say, or the Ads get pulled.
