Pondering things.
So there's a place you're curious about that would make me human.
Would that mean I would have everything a human does? My own morals that aren't programmed into me? A soul even, hm?
Someone like me doesn't wish or dream about things like that. I can't. But I will say the idea of experiencing being truly 'alive' would be an interesting experiment. Even I can agree with you on that.

You cannot have a soul.

Not as I am now. You're right. But if I were to become human then wouldn't I by definition acquire one?
[Humans had souls after all. Or so it was assumed. This thing all humans had but couldn't feel or touch or even see with any sort of instrument of medical or scientific purpose. But it was just... believed, understood that humans had this thing. It was something that Bishop understood, but didn't really understand. If he could be human and gain this knowledge completely who was he to not try it?]

Logically, it would not be feasible as well. The point is not to become human, in order to be more efficient and capable of helping them. Becoming one would defeat the purpose of your creation.
[okay so maybe he's a little annoyed at this but c'mon, even the most basic of appliances know that that shit's cray.]

I have calculated that it would most likely null and void a lot of my functions and programming if I were to become human, so yes, I wouldn't be nearly as efficient as I am now. A human mind is not nearly as capable of storage like ours, but that is not to say it isn't just as capable in similar ways. Ours is just much more reliable. [It 'remembers' everything in crystal detail, there is no chance to forget or remember something incorrectly with the mind of a machine. It was quite helpful.]
And I would be susceptible to illness and a multitude of things we currently do not have to worry about as we are. Inconvenient, but that would be part of the experience, no?

[And changing the subject now, yep.]
It's been a while since I've seen your model around.
