From my perspective the ESI said the same thing but shorter and minus the parts that I find important. At times the ESI just repeats my sentence and suddenly everything is okay. It felt so ridiculous to me.
Typical conversation:
LIE: asks something
Me: answers
LIE: *looks at ESI* I don't understand a word. What is the meaning of this?
ESI: summarizes what I said in the most simple way - without the whys and hows
It looked like this to me:
LIE: What's the plot of les Miserables?
Me: gives plot description
LIE: *looks at ESI* I don't understand a word. What is the meaning of this?
ESI: They all die. End.
