My understanding of the word "lecture" is that it comes with certain sanctimonious connotations. But I'm not one to go on about things you haven't asked of me; I'm afraid my programming is not that that sophisticated.
The soul of an identity thief? You can see that from its eyes? It is a female, I believe.
Romanticized nothingness, a curious turn of phrase.
There isn't anything moral about telling you the fish will die if you give it tequila - that is a fact. I would do it for you if you asked me to. I understand some morality, but I don't possess it.
[If he had a penny for every time AI told him to speak like a normal human person, he'd have at least several pennies.]
It's not a matter of you possessing it. It's a matter of you presenting facts which should, in the socialized human brain, present issues of moral judgement or moral action.
Which is already more difficult for the distracting biological degradation of my own body.
[ This particular AI was being snarky about fish eyes, but he'd probably prefer to give up the penny. It tends to put people more at ease when he's a dumb blonde. ]
I'm hearing that I'm spoiling your fun by telling you the consequences of your potential actions when your inhibitions are lowered.
Is it? My intent isn't to please the listener. My mind simply responds to the sensation of being part of a communication with the impulse to express affection, because it learned some time ago that expressing affection was a pleasant thing to do. The sentiment isn't for the other half of the conversation so much as for the conversation itself.
All part of the further romanticized nothingness of human emotions.
Today's purpose was on the other side of this bottle of tequila.
You've been quite effective at communicating. I'd be rather impressed if you did manage to finish that tequila. Not many humans could possess the high BAC that would warrant and retain their eloquence.
If it does, my creator never informed me of it. I suspect he'd rather like to argue with you as to whether or not I have a life.

What makes you think that? Are you on speaking terms with the fish?
[ Humans. ]

I can read it in his eyes. This fish has the soul of those Gatsby types.

No, Schatz, I mean the soul of romanticized nothingness. That's what's in his eyes.
Her eyes.
The eyes of the fish your morality sensors are telling me not to share the tequila with.

Which, of course, begins the infinite feedback loop of whether that's not what I wanted to accomplish by asking you in the first place.
But I expect I'll be glad the fish is alive tomorrow.

Did the fish's soul mention her name as well?

I'm not communing with the fish. I'm recognizing absence of purpose.

You could assign it one. It is your property, is it not?

Is life ever actually property?
no subject
[ Got 'im. ]
And I suppose that depends on how you define life. Is there life without a purpose?
no subject
Is it something to say reflexively, then?
Oh, dearheart, there's worlds of it.

It's ingratiating. A little like your endearments, I imagine.
Does your life have a purpose, Mr. Invorian?

Did you manage it, darling?

Either I did and now I'm celebrating, or I didn't and now I'm forgetting.

no subject
Do you think you have a life?
no subject
I have an existence, but legally speaking, I am considered inorganic property.
