HAL 9000 and Google Assistant

Because I had a few minutes to waste this evening, I asked a few question to Google Assistant on my phone, trying sometimes to make it (her?) fumble. So at some point, I asked who she thought was the best actor, and she replied... HAL 9000. And she added that apparently, he's a real nice person in real life. I don't know if someone who is into Stanley Kubrick at Google made a joke, or if it is based on some algorithms and the Assistant knows what kind of movie I love, but I thought this was both funny and a bit scary.
