PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

I LOOK LIKE THIS

Comments

[snowburned]

[Well, huh.]

I don't believe we've had many robots before.

Thank you for the alert, though; I'll be sure to keep your sentience in mind.

[swissarmybot]

SO I'VE HEARD.

THANK YOU.

[snowburned]

That's a very detailed picture, by the way. I suppose that makes you highly self-aware.

[swissarmybot]

KNOWLEDGE OF MY OWN SCHEMATICS IS IMPORTANT FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND SELF-REPAIR. OUTWARD APPEARANCE CAN BE EXTRAPOLATED FROM THAT.

I'M NOT SURE HOW SELF-AWARENESS WORKS IN ORGANICS.

[favorthebold]

Some kind of automata?

[swissarmybot]

TECHNICALLY, YES. HOWEVER, THAT WORD DOES NOT IMPLY ANY LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE SO "DROID" IS THE PREFERRED TERM.

[favorthebold]

You know, domè - now, I'm not even sure if that should be the term - automata can be built to say all sorts of things.

[swissarmybot]

I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT.

[weaver_girl]

That is the most awesome thing I have seen all week. Or make that month, really. That's really you?

[swissarmybot]

YES, THAT'S REALLY WHAT I LOOK LIKE.

IT IS PRETTY AWESOME, ISN'T IT?

[weaver_girl]

May I please meet you in person some day? I mean, not to seem intrusive, but... that's amazing.

[swissarmybot]

SURE. WE'LL PROBABLY RUN INTO EACH OTHER AT SOME POINT.

[desertshadows]

Huh. [more bewildered than this comment would suggest, though]

Must be odd being in a place where most other people are quite different.

[swissarmybot]

IT'S MORE THE OTHER WAY AROUND - THIS IS STRANGE FOR EVERYONE ELSE, NOT FOR ME.

[desertshadows]

So you've always been around more people than droids. Doing what?
