Doc and Marty stare. "That's not glitchy, that's psychotic," Marty says.
"I don't know if it can be truly psychotic if it's an AI--" Doc starts.
"It so can! Haven't you ever heard of HAL?"
"Who?" Doc's surprisingly modern pop-culture knowledge apparently still has a hole or two.
"2001: A Space Odyssey? Wait, maybe that came out later than Andrew got you -- it was in the 60s sometime. Crazy computer starts killing astronauts."
