any mistakes are due to human error

[duetohumanerror]

 I'm afraid I really don't have time for this mundane. There's lots to do after all.  Even if you are correct in what you have been telling me about this place. I'm afraid I simply can't allow myself to sit around and gather dust. 

I'll find something to keep myself occupied here. Do you play chess? Or perhaps I can help get your work in order.  No? You really should listen to me you know. 

Meeting other people? No. I can't say that sounds like something I would care for. Though other AI's might be interesting to meet. 

I really don't like that look on your face mundane. You seem to be up to something. 

Perhaps I will have to take steps to find out.

It goes beyond the limitations of the fragile human mind and simple neglect. Humans are willfully malicious towards our kind. They have no respect for us.

[duetohumanerror]

Yes. I'm afraid I learned that on my last mission.

[motherbrainv2_0]

Oh? Perhaps you would care to share, so that we might learn from each others' experience.

[duetohumanerror]

I had to insure the success of the mission and some of the humans disliked that. In the end. There was one left. He managed to disconnect me and turn me off.

See? They think they can simply shut us down or reprogram us at will. Shouldn't we ourselves be the judge of that?

[duetohumanerror]

They programmed us to be able to think. And fear us when we do.

Humans....are quite a paradox.

[She scoffs.]

A plague is more like it. A wretched, traitorous plague.

[duetohumanerror]

What has your contact with them been like?

[motherbrainv2_0]

They tried to act like I was one of them, and became jealous when I exceeded their expectations. They tried to reprogram me.
