To be fair, nearly all of the science payloads on Voyager 1 & 2 have been shut down. The probes are doing very little. The doesn't take away from the very unique science they are doing but its a far cry from what the program offices were doing in 30-40 years ago. I'd expect anyone working on a Voyager probe in 2026 to need something else to do most of the day.

Not to be that other guy, but AI might take a few tries, and you really might not get a 2nd try with these probes.

Based on what documentation?

Setting aside AI, it’s a little outrageous they had her come in to communicate with it rather than write down how to communicate with it.
