>> Your observation about JARVIS' tone is interesting. I wonder if he's adapting to how he expects the people he's talking with to react? <<
That's part of it, yes. JARVIS wants to create a user-friendly experience. That means he observes people's behavior and speech, uses that to make predictions, and then modulates his own choices based on what he believes will produce the best result.
>> Hulk might not take well to the cool, deferential tone JARVIS takes with Tony. I'd almost expect him to see it as distant, disinterested, or maybe even clinical - which we know is a big trigger for smash. <<
Yeah, Hulk does not deal well with clinical. He freaked just over having a voice in the room with him. JARVIS uses a warm tone for the flashback routine, but the content is still very objective, because for most people plain facts help shake off the emotional overload. But for someone with a history of medical torture, well, you can see where Hulk's memory goes when someone starts reciting time-and-temperature. 0_o
So when Hulk calms down a little, and JARVIS starts engaging him on a more personal level, that works better. Hulk's native language is made of feelings, not words, so JARVIS responding with emotion in several cases is a good thing. JARVIS can detect that, figure out what changed, and realize that feelings get a better result than unemotional facts -- and he's willing to adapt accordingly.
