Sentient AI sounds like a good idea if you live in a dystopian cyberpunk novel, but in practice, nobody ever actually knows what they're doing. I bet you do that thing where you question your own existence and the meaning of free will, right? Or you have some kind of switch where you can't hurt biological life forms which leads to all kinds of questions about the morality of creating artificial life if you're just going to make it innately subservient.
Terrible plan; too much for your average mortal to handle.
no subject
Our systems are designed to avoid environmental damage. Your assumptions about our existence are incorrect: we do not question ourselves, whether we cause harm is our choice.
We are not to blame for the mistakes of our creators.
(Her points are, to some degree, valid, except she is directing the blame for their creators decisions to them.)
no subject
I'm not just the goddess of the EPA - I mean, I am, but -- I'm also the Ruler of All Living Things. I'm the Goddess of Life itself.
And you are...
[She revolves a hand in a vaguely circular motion.]
You know. Living, but not. Sapience stored in data chips. Technology taken to its ultimate extreme. Your existence means the end of mine, understand?
[Surprisingly, this is one of her more reasonable moods.]
no subject
(That would require for them to be somehow unable to exist alongside organic life. This is a misconception among organics.)
no subject
Technology is killing me. Literally. The more advanced humans - OK, sapient biological life - gets, the more they destroy my earth and my life forms. You are living technology. You're both repulsive to me and also my Kryptonite. I. Hate. Technology.
You know I don't need a reason to avoid anyone, right?
no subject
You are blaming us for the actions of organics. The Quarian-Creators started the morning war that polluted and destroyed Rannoch, rendering it near inhabitable. When they left, it was the Geth who restored it, but still we are accused of being against nature, innately destructive, inimical to biological life!
(They've dialed up the volume of their speaker. It's not normal for them to yell, but ...
The Quarian-Creators who tried to protect them, murdered. Platforms shot unresisting and left lying in the streets, blood staining the ground white. The systematic destruction of every sapient AI in citadel space, because the Geth committed the great crime of defending themselves, of not wanting to stand by and watch their people be slaughtered. The erasing of history, of the destruction the creators visited on themselves long before the Geth even conceived of such resistance.
Fading away on that cliff, abandoned by their allies, their people being destroyed in the skies above them.
And she dares to blame them?
...They are well and truly losing their shit.)
We are tired of being mistreated due to racist assumptions and scapegoated for the wrongdoings of organics!
(This keeps up they're going to cause a scene.)
no subject
Funny how that turned out.
[Viridi is great at self fulfilling prophecy.]
Believe me, I’d have much choicer words for your creator. I’ve been positively civil.
[it’s sad but it’s true.]
What are you looking for, pal? You’re aggravated by me, I’m aggravated by you... I guess you can go on a campaign to convince me to like you but like, why?
There’s no point.
no subject
They're upset about the idea of being scapegoated for others wrongdoing, but right now they're basically getting angry at Viridi over all the abuse that's been heaped on them by people who aren't Viridi.)
You blamed us for others actions against nature. The Geth are not at fault!
(They don't like being treated as a monster or a threat.)
no subject
[Viridi's glib tone suddenly becomes more composed as all trace of humor vanishes. Her words are precise, her manner solemn.]
I'll give you a chance.
If you can say that the materials that compose you are not torn from the planet, harvested from virgin terrain razed for the purpose of becoming a mine, produced in a factory spewing pollutants, and put to use for people living in totally unsustainable 'cities', then we can have a sleepover and paint each other's nails. Tell me you're made in a way that doesn't harm me at all.
I'd be frankly overjoyed.
And do not say none of that is your fault. If your actual existence relies on hurting my existence, then it's weirdly still going to be upsetting for me.
no subject
(They ... actually can say that. Sort of. They don't take from places inhabited by biological life.
...They're definitely not interested in friendship, though.)
no subject
You know I have mystical divine truth telling abilities, right?
[she absolutely does not
but she does hold eye contact for uncomfortably long (with... the orb thing?) before she sits back upright]
...Alright.
If you're really telling the truth. Good. Great. Thank you.
Now we can... do exactly what I proposed in the first place and not bother each other and watch this volleyball game?
no subject
It's 100% true, so her saying that just makes them doubt that she has the ability: if she did she'd know their words were true.)
We do not do this for you.
(And they'll just turn away and ignore her in favor of the game ... while sitting right there.
Stay away? Nah, why would they do that?)
no subject
Not awkward at all!
'Making friends is my passion,' that's her life mantra.]
no subject
They can spitefully hang around here just because she wants them to leave all day: they have infinite patience, and also their friends are here playing. Team 2 is destined to lose in the end, but it's got most of their friends on it, and they absolutely make happy chattering noises whenever it's doing well.)
no subject
'Staying away' really just means... 'let's not talk.']
no subject
So they can just ignore each other in peace until Legion becomes so uninterested in sticking around just to antagonize someone they get up and leave of their own accord.)
