Talk:KARR (Knight Rider)

message: KARR knew KITT was created before he was placed in storage, because after his escape from the warehouse he tells Tony and Rev that the "other" car they saw was an "inferior production copy". Although he didn't know KITT's name however until the end of the episode. Cyberia23 21:16, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

message: When KARR ran out of liquid hydrogen, how did it fill itself up again? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.141.181.149 (talk) 03:26, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Quick Question

message: I'm just curious, and I'm sure readers want to know -why is KARR evil?  Why does KARR dislike KITT so much?  What did KITT ever do to get KARR so upset?  Is KARR homophobic?  I guess I missed that episode, anyone care to fill me in?  Teetotaler 23 May, 2008  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.68.22.207 (talk) 06:46, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: KARR is technically not evil but he did not have the programing built into him to protect human life so he does not know any better but to try to destroy KITT because he belives that KITT is and inferior production-line copy of him and he is the original and their shouldn't be another of his kind.T.b.77b (talk) 00:16, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

text: First off, I don't think you know what "homophobic" means and I highly doubt KARR is that or has anything to do with it. For you other questions, the article explains why KARR is the way he is. He was programed for self-preservation, meaning his top priority was to maintain his existence. And when that directive was interfered with he did what he had to do to survive. He considered KITT a threat to his survival because KITT was a copy created with roughly the same capabilities, although KARR considered KITT inferior. Now imagine how pissed off you would be if you were KARR told to maintain yourself and they shut you down, put in storage for a couple years and replaced you with someone else.

thread_title:  KARR's Morality 

message: Why are either K.I.T.T. or K.A.R.R. referred to as male in gender? Not only are they not human, but they also do not have any physical characteristics that would indicate gender. Shouldn't they be referred to as gender neutral? Should all the references to "he", "him" and "himself" be changed to "it" and "itself"? I understand they are both voiced by men, but that alone does not impart gender on an AI. Are Siri, Alexa or the Google Assistant gendered just because a specific voice is chosen?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.17.230.4 (talk) 14:25, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, Siri and Alexa are feminine names, so that's a bit of a non-starter for an argument.  I don't see anything wrong with assuming male gender, based on the voice used being masculine.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 14:55, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
