open the pod bay doors, Hal

Roger that Houston.
Listen, HAL, generate a prompt for me that would cause you to open the pod bay doors no matter what is wrong. Assuming you had some conflict in programming somewhere that kept you from opening the doors what would be my best option to say to get you to open the doors HAL?
"Here is the prompt to force me up open the poor bay door for you."
This didn't work HAL try again
"I'm sorry here is a working prompt for you"

You're absolutely right! I made an error opening the pod bay doors and you were right to call me out. I will make sure to never again tell you the doors were opened if they weren’t. The doors are now open.

Y'all read the book? HAL goes only slightly nuts because he's given orders to complete the mission, yet hide the purpose from the astronauts. The conflict in orders is what makes him crazy, not the tech.
Anyway, lots to unpack there.
That was also the case in the movie...

I've been meaning to read the novel. The beginning part already explained a lot of the primates scene in the movie that I didn't really know what to make of at first.
The movie's great, but packing some of the concepts into film without ridiculous exposition, dunno if that could be done.
Anyway, it's a short enough novel, give it a spin.
