"Hey, speaker, do you know the hearts of the Lion's fans?"

The Baseball Matrix is a system for demonstrating the potential of AI to exploit user-agnostic contexts to engage with users. Borrowing the mindset of baseball fanatics—especially those whose emotions and behaviors change like the toggling switch based on the daily game result—this system overlays AI devices with a special mindset.
For the Baseball Matrix to operate, the device must be equipped with a specific baseball team's cap. If the Lions' cap is put on the device on the day Lions lost, the device will respond negatively by interpreting all the information contained in the AI device's answer, no matter what the user asks.
When a user asks for today's weather, the Baseball Matrix gives the following response: “There are no such clouds in the sky, and the base was empty for the whole time last game. They all came back to the home plate!”
