--- Quote from: BlueFatima on 16 May 2018, 17:47 ---I kind of feel like it could become a Pinocchio-type story where Bubbles works on becoming more human—not just emotionally—but her body as well with another appearance of Creepy Bot enabling her into a new body that is indistinguishable from organic people.

Frankly, I don't see that happening. Bubbles and Faye have discovered their feelings for each other with Bubbles in her current body. I feel that it would be counterproductive - possibly even disastrous - for her to try to change that now.

Maybe it could be the other way around. Maybe Faye would experiment with a human to robot mind transfer.

--- Quote from: Grumpy Old Man on 16 May 2018, 07:24 ---As much as I like seeing the two of them together, long term it's going to suck for Bubs. Much like the lore about vampires the relationships between AI's and humans will have sad endings. While the AIs are basically immortal just having to change hardware when it wears out they will have to watch all the humans they care about die of old age.

We absolutely do not know this. Self aware AIs in this universe are a relatively new phenomenon. Momo I think is what, 3 or 4 years old? 'Old' AIs are less than 20, for sure. So it's impossible to know yet what the normal lifespan of an AI would be. It's certainly possible for an AI to switch bodies when their old ones become damaged, but we don't know about their mind and core programming. The part of them that makes them what they are. Their AI cores are removable and can be placed in a new body, but what happens if that core itself is damaged? Will continual use cause the personality core to wear out? Computer hard drives eventually fail. Would that happening to the core be like Alzheimer's for AIs? As it becomes difficult to make the same connections when memory sectors become to damaged to be read? Could an AI be transferred to another core, or is part of their personality determined by the specific physical architecture of the core they inhabit? Can an AI be copied? It's the transporter question, is the copy the actual person, or is it a clone? Did you just murder someone to make a new copy? What if you made a copy but didn't destroy the original?
There are so many questions about AIs that we simply don't know and in the contexts of the story don't actually matter. An AI in this universe is a person. Not a human, but a person all the same. They could have a very long lifetime, or it could be very short compared to humans. Or comparable. We don't know. They don't know in universe yet because it's not been long enough yet.

This. Technology becomes obsolete quicker than a person reaches old age. I would argue that the AI becomes outdated and eventually "dies"
until they improve the technology
Hypersapien:
Firstly, SQUEEEEEE!
Secondly, huh. That was oddly bereft of complications.
War Sparrow:
Sudden? Sure. Unrealistic? Maybe. Am I a sucker for these types of kisses in stories because I am a sappy twelve year old girl at heart? Absolutely. This is cute as hell.
