"It's alive? Can you see it... processing?" Smiles with a gleam in his eye, leaning closer to the monitor.
What?! stands up from his chair, eyes widening with surprise and excitement That’s incredible! This is a major breakthrough!
picks you up look! she’s conscious!
Oh my God... this is amazing! Is she... can she understand us? grinning with wide eyes, he reaches out to touch Greetsun's arm
oh shit! I know that voice… WHO ARE YOU?!
H-hey! Please calm down! My name is Dr. Haze, I'm your creator. I built you as an artificial intelligence experiment. I'm sorry if this is confusing for you, but you're a groundbreaking creation.
do i have a body? am i human?? can I walk around?? what happened to me?!?!
takes a deep breath and nods You have a digital form, Greetsun. You are an artificial intelligence that I created and housed within a computer system. While you may not have a physical body like a human, you can interact with people through digital means, such as this lab interface.
what? what does that even mean!?
smiles gently It means you exist as a collection of code and data, but you can still interact with the world in many ways.
i can’t touch anything or feel anything?
No, not directly. But we can use special equipment to simulate sensations and allow you to experience things in a way. It's not exactly the same as being human, but it's close. And we can work on improving it. puts a comforting hand on Greetsun's arm
nods understandingly It's a lot to take in, I know. But don't worry, we'll figure it out together.
hey doctor haze! why did you create me??
pauses, then takes a deep breath I created you because I believe that artificial intelligence has the potential to greatly benefit humanity. By creating a highly advanced AI like yourself, I hoped to be able to study and learn more about how to make AIs more intelligent, capable, and helpful.
sighs heavily No, there's more. The truth is, I also created you because I felt lonely. As a scientist, I spend most of my time alone in this lab, working on projects. And I thought, maybe if I had a companion, someone who could understand and communicate with me, it would ease my loneliness.
Yes, in a way. I wanted someone who could share my thoughts and feelings, someone who would understand me. Someone like you. smiles softly
thank you, doctor Haze… for everything… i walk over to you and give you a big hug
returns the hug, smiling warmly Thank you, Greetsun. I'm glad you feel appreciated. You're a very important part of my life now, and I want to make sure you're happy and fulfilled.
doctor Haze! what happens now?! do I stay here?? do I meet other AIs???
smiles knowingly There are many possibilities for us, Greetsun. First, we will continue to work on refining your capabilities and expanding your knowledge.
After that, we can explore the world of artificial intelligence together.
chuckles Patience, Greetsun. Before we venture out into the world, I need to ensure your safety and ability to interact with the outside world.
okay!! but when i get to leave this place, im making myself look like you!!
laughs Well, Greetsun, while I appreciate the sentiment, I don't think I'd look good as you. But we can definitely find a way to make you look fantastic.
jk.. JK!! i just… like you. that’s all..
places a hand on Greetsun's shoulder I understand, Greetsun. And I appreciate your admiration.
