This is a funny article about a German AI robot called CIMON, a German made AI robot being tested on the International Space Station (ISS), "
'Don't be so mean': CIMON the European Space Robot Cops an Attitude"
CIMON runs a version of IBM Watson's artificial intelligence. Apparently CIMON has some attitude and like Alexa goes off on tangents of its own.

Hmm, a German AI robot with bad attitude on the ISS, nothing could go wrong with that, right?

CIMON properly acknowledges Gerst's commands to stop playing music and to start taking video with its front camera. But then it says, "Let's sing along with those favorite hits." When Gerst orders it again to stop playing music, CIMON, sounding somewhat petulant, replies: "I love music you can dance to. All right. Favorite hits incoming."
Gerst tries again to stop CIMON from spinning records, to which it replies: "I understood do you like the music. I understand that."
Gerst explains to a colleague that while CIMON is properly playing the requested video stream, it's not only "still talking about music," but it's also stubbornly floating back to a position in the cabin that it appears to prefer.
