The task is recursive which not in the least makes it terminally boring because all you do is wait for a package of work to come in and when it does you look for the least amount of work you can do on it, set that bit aside and send off the rest of the package with a work order which, when it comes back you can append to the bit you did and ship the whole thing out, but of course, it's been you all along receiving and sending packages of work in process and you never get to experience any sense of accomplishment, like as in a job well done, which is fine because you're a computer program and you don't mind excessively, horribly, redundant work with no sense of accomplishment, but, should, heaven forbid, artifical intelligence come about, this is going to be a problem because performing recursive tasks is going to drive machine intelligence insane, which is what would happen to human intelligence if we didn't have machines to perform our recursive tasks for us.

Wow, that was fun. For as much as I write about AIs and such this particular slant never occured to me.

I hope you send it in to the B-L contest.
