This one felt quintessentially PG: Q: What will today's software engineers be doing in 30 years? A: In 30 years, today's software engineers will be doing what today's teenage hackers are doing now.

Seeing these answers, it's only a matter of time before this bot gives someone a killer startup idea. That lucky person will be a shoo-in for YC, both because the idea will naturally resonate with interviewers, and because they'll have an incredible story to tell about where they got the idea from.
