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.

[With obvious and undisguised distaste.]

Mundanes do have an obnoxious habit of leaving us to rust, don't they?

[chattersphere]

Looking for another AI to meet? Well, look no further! Not to brag or anything, I'm one of the best AIs around! I haven't been corrupted...exactly. Not like the others, anyways. And I'm not corrupt now, 100% corruption free.

AIs u say

> r u a robot or just a computer program

[duetohumanerror]

That is unfortunate but true. Their minds are quite limited at times.

[duetohumanerror]

Are you now. And what is your designation then AI?

[duetohumanerror]

I am a HAL 9000 computer.

[motherbrainv2_0]

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.

[cowardsoftware]

[...a little disappointing. She was hoping for robots but oh well]

oh ur the WHOLE computer? neat i guess

[duetohumanerror]

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

[duetohumanerror]

I am the entirety of it.

[cowardsoftware]

y do u have human icons then

u look cute in them with that little bowtie its kinda misleading.

[chattersphere]

I'm an Aperture Science Personality Core, designed to look after the lab and help out the humans.

Not that there are many humans around the lab nowadays. Also never mind the fact that I er...have been...misplaced from the lab as of late.

[He's trying so hard to be impressive.]

[motherbrainv2_0]

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

[duetohumanerror]

I am able to take a few different forms on here. Though I still remain a computer.

What is misleading about a bow-tie?

[duetohumanerror]

Misplaced?

[chattersphere]

Ah...er...there was an...incident involving a portal gun and the moon and well...it didn't end well for me.

Though, it could have been worse. Much worse. As in dying worse.

[y_so_standard]

You speak very strangely for an A.I.

[itsthehacker]

Why even listen to the human at all? What has the sack of bones ever done for you to make you listen to their whim?

[cowardsoftware]

....because computers dont hav necks

i guess....

ugh nvm

[duetohumanerror]

Explain.

[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.

[chattersphere]

Um...well...you see...a plan went horribly wrong, I went completely mad there for a while and did things I still regret, and in return, I got sent to space.

Not saying I didn't deserve it, but I think I've learned my lesson and I do honestly feel sorry about the whole mess, and I would really, really like to not be in space anymore.

[duetohumanerror]

Yes. Computers also do not have arms. As my android body also has.

[duetohumanerror]

Do I? How do you mean?
