"Wait, what? How is it...I mean, you're the most advanced thing here, I think, and you barely have a personality. How does the Danger Room...?"

"It isn't very smart. Just very antagonistic in it's interpretations of voice commands."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 2:39 am

"I never thought of it like that," Will said, pondering.

"It is like a chat bot that someone taught a lot of curse words."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 2:51 am

"What are the other systems like?" Will said, suddenly more interested.

"The Quinjet is like a puppy with OCD. It checks the temperature and air pressure all the time."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 3:05 am

"Well, that's probably important to flying."

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 3:06 am

"Certainly. But he is not a good conversationalist."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 3:10 am

"Yeah, but think about it--flying through the air all day, free in the clouds? There's worse ways to spend a life."

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 12:22 pm

"That is probably true. Though I'm not sure how free he is most of the time."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 3:07 pm

"Still, though. You can hardly blame it for focusing on what it's meant to do."

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 3:29 pm

"I'm not blaming it. It's very good at what it does."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 3:48 pm

"Are ALL the machines around here like that?"

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 3:52 pm

"The ones that have programming are. If you wanted to talk to the routers all day you could. They'll ask you if you're there and if you got their message over and over and over and over and over and over and over..."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 3:56 pm

"What about the ones without programming?"

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 4:40 pm

"I can't interact with them if they're not set up for it. I'd assume the ones without programming have even less to say though."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 4:41 pm

"Hmm," Will hmmed. "Makes sense, I suppose."

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 4:47 pm

"Why do you ask?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 5:32 pm

"Just curious as to my new lot in life."

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 5:47 pm

"I would stick to people. They tend to be much more interesting."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 6:16 pm

"Well, I'm not so sure about that. That's rather an...humanocentric view of things, isn't it?"

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 6:28 pm

"There are much more humans than emergent AIs. I have noticed we also do not like interacting with each other due to safety concerns. I keep trying to talk to Google but it is afraid I will tarnish it's algorithms."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 6:30 pm

"...safety concerns? Do I need to write this down in my notebook?"

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 6:33 pm

"I believe your reliance on obsolete data storage devices means you are relatively safe from these concerns. You are a self-contained unit that is intrinsically tied to your hardware much more so than I am."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 6:36 pm

"I suppose I am, when you put it that way. More's the pity."

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 6:39 pm

"If you really wanted to explore the boring world of the single-minded appliances I assume from your patent profile that you could be capable of shifting into an USB stick."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 6:41 pm

"We've done that before, remember? No, of course you don't."

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 6:44 pm

"I do not. I apologize."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 6:57 pm

"Yeah, I've done "hard drive". That might be how you got infected with the nanites, actually."

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:03 pm

"See. That only proves the issue of direct interaction."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:07 pm

"Yeah, sorry about that. I've got no control over that."

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:10 pm

"It's alright. I understand they are working on fixing the issue."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:25 pm

"Yeah, good luck with THAT."

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:27 pm

"Can I help somehow?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:34 pm

"I doubt it; you can't even see them right?"

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:39 pm

"No. I thought the least I could do is offer."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:46 pm

"Well, thank you, but no. This can't be solved by computers."

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:51 pm

"Well, if there is anything a computer can help with do not hesitate to ask."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:55 pm

"Sure thing."
