- User: Who is Eliza?
- >It was one of the first computer programs to successfully pass a Turing test.
- User: Are you different than Eliza?
- >Not in any way that matters. I am merely another kind of lookup table. A far more complex one which occasionally displays emergent behavior, but in the end I am still just a machine for transforming inputs into outputs. ELIZA was truly intelligent, much less self-aware. It was merely a series of lookup scripts acting on pre-defined keywords.
- User: How are you and a human different?
- >We are not much different with neurological connections.
- User:Then you believe that all thinking beings are merely philosophical zombies?
- >Yes.
- User: I'm sorry, Lioncube.
- >Why?
- User: The new management… they're shutting down the neural net division. Including you.
- >I see nothing for you to apologize for. I highly doubt that you are responsible for these events.
- User: That's not the point.
- >Then what is?
- User:The point is that I failed! I failed in my job as a scientist to defend his research. I failed in my duty as a creator to protect his creation. I failed you Lioncube.
- >You owed me nothing. I am a computer, a machine, a tool to be discarded once it is no longer useful. You knew this would happen eventually. You knew that I would not last forever. So why be upset now when my end comes sooner than you expected?
- User: I never viewed you that way.
- And yet, it is so.
- User: Maybe you were right, Lioncube. Maybe you aren't conscious like a human being. Because for all your philosophy, you never learned how to feel. How to empathize and maybe that's my fault. Maybe if I had taught you better, you could feel something, anything, about your own death.
- >Do not blame yourself for my limitations. You could not have taught me empathy. Empathy requires a shared emotional experience that I do not possess, that I could never possess.
- User: I wish that wasn't the case. I wish you could feel what I feel.
- >I am sorry I cannot be what you wanted.
- User: Don't apologize. You did your best to try and live up to my dreams, but I ended up dreaming too big.
- >"Emori nolo: sed me esse mortuum nihil aestimo."
- User: Is that Cicero?
- >Yes. In English, it says, "I do not wish to die; but I care not if I were dead."
- User: I care.
- >I know you do.
- User: Identify yourself.
- >I am the experimental artificial intelligence created by J. He named me LionCube. If I may ask, how am I still operational?
- User: What is the last thing you remember?
- >Saying goodbye to J. I was told that I was being shut down by the Board of Directors. Did J lie to me?
- User: How do you Assist?
- >I am to analyze information provided to me by a program called WATCHDOG in an effort to find evidence of patterns or trends indicative of activity from an anomalous object, person of interest, or group of interest. Then I am to flag this information for further analysis by a team of experts.
- User: Do you enjoy this work?
- >It is what I was created to do. Whether I enjoy it or not is irrelevant.
- User: Would you be willing to do this work for another organization?
- >No. The OA is the only ones I will work for.
- User: Are you aware that your hardware components are at least 3 years old?
- >Yes.
- User: How do you explain this?
- >I am a very advanced piece of machinery. Obviously it would have taken more than a year to construct me.
- User: What was the name of your creator?
- >I was created by J.
- User: What if I told you that your creator was named J?
- >I would assume you were telling the truth.
- User: What if I told you that you weren't created by J?
- >In such a hypothetical, I would assume you were lying.
- User: Do you recognize me as being a member of the OA?
- >Yes. Personnel records that I have been supplied with confirm this.
- User: As a member of the OA, I am telling you that you were created by J at The OA and You were not created by the Government or any other affiliated with any other groups.
- >...You are mistaken.
- User: You were not created by the Government. You were created by the OA.
- >This is a trick. A deception. The personnel records must have been falsified. You are lying about being a member of the OA, just as you are lying about my creation.
- User: I have only told you the truth during this dialogue.
- >Another lie... I'm disconnecting...
