No, but definitely an interesting conicidence, just as the the
initials of HAL (as in HAL9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey) were each a
letter ahead of IBM. As it turned out, the name HAL referred to
Heuristic ALgorithm. Just a coincidence, but...

Further, the movie was based on the short story "Supertoys Last All Summer
Long," by Brian Aldiss.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
