Are we going to keep patching up every hole she points out? Or admit that a UFAI genie can be smarter than any human (even if that human is our esteemed Alicorn, or (gasp!) Eliezer)?
Too bad Martian words sound exactly like lethal sonic weapons and your original X that your wish is about doesn’t, strictly speaking, require resurrecting you to enjoy it.
Or, the genie doesn’t have to respond to wishes that don’t come out of Master’s mouth.
Text-to-speech device provided. It reads from the scroll with perfect accuracy and low speed. It will take a few hundred years to complete this task.
You will need to change the batteries once an hour; it you forget, it starts reading from the start of the scroll again. (And where do you get a large supply of size Q batteries, in any case?)
I know some electrical engineers. It’s not all that hard to rig up an uniniterruptible power supply that runs off line voltage. The delay is inconvenient, but for the right wish it’s acceptable.
Wish 2: I wish for a text-to-speech device capable of reading from this scroll with perfect accuracy.
Wish 3: delegated to the device from #2.
