And people complain about RS-232. Honestly, the loosness in the protocol is what makes it so versatile and useful. Configuration becomes a chore, but serial terminals are a snap compared to child clothing configuration. Assume auto-configuration/ self-configuratiin routines to be buggy, unstable, and output behavior is undefined.
As an indication of how deep the STIP is: my daughter, who is NONVERBAL still gave me the eyeroll and annoyed sigh when a teenager. I am happy to say we have moved on ACIP (adult child interaction protocol) which is much more collegial.
One of my Childs had a physical protocol, as well. C: Mom (touch arm or hip, which ever is reachable.) Mom - touch, Mom-touch. Continued in rapid succession until not just an ACK is obtained, but a full online and LOOKING at them before continuing.
I now have a dog that is similar. (We have buttons for talking. When he was an only he used them regularly, now, it's more rare (okay a lot of the batteries have died and only a couple work, "Good boy", and "Want".)) D: Good-boy - come over and tap my arm 1-3 times, Good-boy - come over and tap. Continues until full online and LOOKING at them is obtained.
Really good. It occurs to me you are uniquely qualified to write sf in this area. People are ready for a new 3 laws sort of logical ai thing.
I was explaining to my team how clever a balanced b+ tree was and then thought about how AI *knew* this but didn't *understand* it. Then I started thinking about a hero who defeated AI at various stages by giving it tasks that it knew it would do poorly. Then I thought I would hand that idea off to Sam...

Oh, man. Yes, self-configuration can be… INTERESTING… until you get them fully debugged. :)
I don't have any of my own, but nieces and nephews have provided years of entertaining stories.
Debugged? I'm just impressed anyone ever gets them past the 'booting to bare metal and running around with all ports open' stage.

I laughed too hard!

Sheltie service dogs are too smart.
