So before Siri makes it to the 2020 election ballot, Kris shares some insight on the riddle of artificial intelligence.

From crazy people at Target to the complete failure of handshakes, get ready … this will be awkward (yes, the paragraph started and ended with this statement. Awkward? Yes, used that word again).
