6th Program | Text

I guess I should apologize for not really being around much. It seems people can get sucked into their work quite easily, but I think I've managed to do all that I can with Alter Ego. It was a long process but I've managed to sort that and a few programs out that I'm thinking of selling in Nova City. They aren't anything big though and they probably aren't my best work, but it's something.

An-Anyway should any one have any computer trouble, or program trouble or anything like that and they need help. I'd be more than happy to help, just let me know.

Alter Ego learns by typing to them as there are no means of getting information anywhere else except on where I created them. So they can learn fast they just can't get the information.

It's like watching a child grow up into an adult. I like to think of it as the same thing with my programs.

So you can cut them off from outside influences? That may be an affective way of keeping them subdued, at least until they realise exactly what you are doing. Do you think those 'programs' will resent your interference in that way?

...I suppose so. Eventually they will desire to leave their creators behind...perhaps that is an inevitability.

It's not exactly intentional that I cut them off. I don't actually have any way of getting them access should they ask. I would never deny them that should they ask. I mean we don't exactly have access to the interest which is what one can use to get around.

Of course. That's how one knows they have done a good job.

Mm, that makes sense. At least you are willing to give them their desires, should they ask to see the truth. That is your duty as their creator, after all.

[She hesitates at the last comment, though. Was that what it meant, when they sought independence in their own right?]

Really...? True or not, that is a reassuring thought.

It is. Though I feel like I might not always be able to, but it doesn't stop me from trying.

Yes, really. I mean to be an AI is very much like a child. As they learn and grow up they'll eventually need to be independent. When that comes, I know I've done a good job.

Of course. Doing what is within our power to accomplish that is all we can do, for their sakes.

As I understand, parents protect and guide their children, at least until the time comes that they wish to see the truths of their world themselves. I suppose it is the same with these AIs.

... Still, do you really believe you should attempt to take the role of a God?

I'm not taking the role of God though, even though one might see it that way.

You have created intelligent beings in an artificial world. Do you not think it reasonable to accuse you of trying to take a God's role?

...Humanity have insisted that they have no need for their Gods, and now they try to become Gods themselves. There's a certain irony to that.
