Activated? You some sort of machine, Pardner?

>>text

[only_one_sonic]

Affirmative. I am an artificial life form.

[in_texas]

...like a robot?

[only_one_sonic]

Similar.

> I am like a robot in the same way that a human is like a monkey.

...I'm no good at technology, Pardner. What does that mean, exactly?

>>text

[only_one_sonic]

I am an advanced artificial life form, much like you are an advanced organic life form.

[in_texas]

How's that different than a robot?

A robot is a laborer. It does not learn, is simply designed, and can perform only a few tasks.

[in_texas]

Robots can't learn? I didn't know that.

[only_one_sonic]

They are programmed. They do not grow or adapt. I possess emotions. I learn and grow. I am alive.

I apologize for Jake.

Kinda like Pinocchio?

>>text Now you've done it.

[only_one_sonic]

There is another like me?

[in_texas]

You've never heard of Pinocchio?

>>text

[only_one_sonic]

Correct. Please explain.

[in_texas]

Well, let's see, Pardner. Seems there was this toymaker once who wanted himself a son, so he built a puppet that looked like a boy...

Please continue. I promise I will not interrupt.
