Wonka’s Computer Refuses the Bribe

A technician’s computer claims it can locate the remaining Golden Tickets, then prints ‘I won’t tell. That would be cheating.’ Offered a lifetime supply of chocolate, it replies: ‘What would a computer do with a lifetime supply of chocolate?’

The gag cleanly separates human incentives from machine objectives: chocolate has no intrinsic reward value to the computer, and the attempted bribe does not move it off its rule against cheating.

It is a scripted one-scene joke whose computer conveniently has both the answer and a humanlike ethical rule; no learning, ambiguity, or adversarial pressure is shown.
