The sheriff adds "A-reno"
The coroner adds "A-who"
The hotel manager adds "A-boo"
But have you noticed when the coroner actually says “a-reno” ? (“right-a-reno” to be specific)
I don’t remember exactly which error was made by one of the versions of that character but I remember him betraying himself. When I heard it I thought that it was an intentional hint for the player.
“You’re supposed to be a 24 hour service-a-reno a boo!”
I dunno, somehow this all reminds me of the pet shop owner and his “brother in a similar pet shop in Bolton” from Monty Python´s famous parrot sketch:
There might be a sketch even closer to this I´m almost postive but I can´t think of it right now.
The fact that the characters are human-shaped AIs doesn’t necessarily make them infallible, especially if they are driven by an AI based on a neural network.
For example, the developers of Thimbleweed Park are clearly human-shaped AIs, still they have made the mistake of writing incompatible statements in the game.
They don’t make mistakes, it’s all by design. The things that may seem like mistakes have the purpose of producing fan forum fodder.
Or the result of the point in the last phase of the development that is very well known as: “Beep! I just want to get this beeping game finished.”
