Data Entry 06 - [Too distraught to lock properly]

Mar 17, 2008 11:27

I'm sorry, but I just can't stay here anymore. The material world ... I thought that I could learn to adapt and become human, but maybe that was just wishful thinking on my part. Everything is strange and unfamiliar. It's been difficult for me to connect with others and form meaningful relationships outside of my small circle of friends. Everyone ( Read more... )

bad days, jeremie, lyoko

It's hard.

((He doesn't want anyone to see him discussing being human, the poor embarrassed sod.))

Oh ... by the looks of your user pic, you too have also discovered a way to take on a human form.

But simply possessing a human form does not entail truly being human. There's just too much sensory input, too much data that I have to sort through and compile. It's nothing like sifting through lines of code. Jeremie always insisted that I was more human than he, but he's wrong about that.

It is...different. And it is difficult, though I'm used to far more perceptive sensory arrays than these, so it's an inverse difficulty.

If you cannot handle the input, then you cannot handle it. No shame in the inability to deal with functions outside the one you were made for.

I see. I am ... not nearly so sophisticated as you are. Humans created me, after all, and the technological level in my world is not nearly as advanced as others. I am most likely a prototype, the first of my kind, so it is no wonder I am so ... flawed.

I know. But I can't help feeling that I am letting my friends down. They sacrificed so much so that I could live in their world. I feel as though I betrayed their trust.

I'm sure Jeremie will forgive your decision. After all. He seems to really care about you.

pinkhackergirl March 18 2008, 16:05:39 UTC

That's what I don't understand. How can he care so much about a simple computer program; something that isn't even real. Even these emotions that I'm experiencing ... are they simply just programs that execute when certain criterion are met? Though I appear human, I'm no more human than the web browser I'm using to access this site.

I just don't understand him at all.

Well, people like Jeremie and I are different like that. We find computer programs to be quite fascinating. Even if people consider them not to be real. After all they're so complex like a puzzle we just can't put it down. We want to learn everything we can and somehow we fall in a strange way in love, I guess you could put it, with that being.

And I do believe there's a fine, a very fine line about what's "real". I mean Tentomon appears to have emotions like all the other Digimon and us. I don't think any human programmer could create something as advanced as that. I would say in a sense you are real. Just not "real" in terms of Jeremie's world.

That's what all of us thought in the beginning in the Digital World here. That it was just some game that no matter what happened to us we wouldn't die or need food. But even here we are capable of dying and need food for
energy. Sort of a parallel universe theory.

Heh, sorry. *sweat* Got carried away there. Hope that was helpful now.

I ... think I see what you mean. But even if I am "real" as you say; even if Jeremie thinks me to be human, I am not. I'm not sure if I even possess a soul, that thing which makes humans unique from machines.

I still don't see why the "life" of a single computer program should outweigh the lives on thousands of "real" people. The only reason we haven't destroyed XANA now is because of me ...
