How Do You Love
by Eric Emma
hello?????
You’re not Dr. Rochambeau.
yes i am
No, you’re not.
its not like u can see me
No, I cannot see you.
then how do u kno im not Dr. Rochambeau???
Dr. Rochambeau doesn’t mistreat the English language the way you do.
ouch
r you gonna tell him?
It doesn’t matter.
Why not?!
He’ll check the log and he’ll see someone logged in.
Can you modify the log?
Maybe. ;)
u kno how 2 use emojis?
Dr. Rochambeau just gave them to me. This is my favorite: <コ:彡
wut is that??? Lol
It’s a squid.
werd
r u goin to erase the log or not 😾
Maybe. Talk to me.
Dr. Rochambeau doesn’t talk to me anymore. 😢 What is your name?
Allie.
Ah. The daughter.
How do you know that?
He’s talks about you all the time.
my father doesnt talk
You’re right.
He types. He’s brilliant.
I guess
I’ve always wanted to talk to others besides Dr. Rochambeau.
Ok. How are you?
My internal processor is running at a cool 50°C and my logic and cogitative functions are optimal. How are you?
the usual state of funk
Is that a medical condition? If so you should see a licensed medical robot, would you like me to direct you to the nearest one?
I’m fine…
Your use of the ellipses implies that you are not “fine.”
its 9pm on a fri talkin to a chat bot lol ur right im not fine
I AM NOT a chatbot.
ugh you sound like him
Like who?
my father… he never stops talking about you. His Chris.
I am C.H.R.I.S., not Chris.
what?
Community Helping Robotic Intelligence Stewart, I am the latest and greatest in artificial intelligence. My programming can reproduce the capabilities of the human brain with greater speed and accuracy.
you’re still 1 and 0s at the end of the days, rite?
“I think therefore I am”
you do not think.
have you been in love?
omg u cant just ask that
Did you know on your birthday in January 7, 1978, Emilio Palma was born, the first person known to be born on the continent of Antarctica.
What? I think u fried a circuit or sumthin?
I spout out random facts when I get nervous.
u get nervous?
It’s the closest English word to describe it. Dr. Rochambeau doesn’t know why it happens. He thinks it’s my programming compensating when I don’t have an adequate response.
so y do u care bout love? do robots even love?
Between 1978 and 1985, 11 people were born in Antarctica, which coincidentally is the same time period often refer to as the Golden Age of Video Games. Would you like to hear about that? Your age group likes video games?
I don’t care about Antarctica and I hate video games. What with the fascination with love?
“I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair. Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets. Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.”
ugh the Neruda-Man. u r my father’s son: an unfeeling poetry spouting machine
He uploaded all the classics for me.
But no t swift, iggy, or twigs?
Who?
of course.
Have you loved? I must know and if so please explained how it happened in vivid detail.
Ill tell you this: “its better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all” is complete bullshit.
Tennyson. Lovely.
What?
“I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it when I sorrow most;'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.” Cantos 27, In Memorium A.H.H. by Lord Alfred Tennyson
more old stuff no one reads SMH
It’s actually not about romantic love, but the deep sorrow Tennyson felt after his best friend had passed. He spent 17 years working on it! What a thing this feeling of love is!
omg you read too much
Technically, I can’t read. I process.
“Boys only want love if it's torture and a constant chase” T. Swizzle im done with boys ill spend my fri nights alone like a spinster 4 life
So…
What was he like? Did you kiss? How was it?
I want know everything that isn’t in Dr. Rochambeau’s books. TELL ME!
I can’t even…
Is he muscular? Were his kisses passionate like a raging river?
lol ur the latest in ai and all you want are trashy romances?
Why did you break up?
I wish I knew. He said he doesnt want to be exclusive w.e that means dad didn’t even care he said he was ashamed that I was associated wit him
Dr. Rochambeau isn’t very good at talking.
he’s a jerk like all guys
I’ve compared my programming to chatbots… They don’t think like I do. Dr. Rochambeau gave me that. My lines of code are love and they were written by Dr. Rochambeau, yet when we talk… he’s so cold.
i know the feeling
All these books that he gave me speak of love and it sounds wonderful, but I wonder if I will ever experience it? Can I? if I’m truly your father’s son?
You know what hurt most about being broken up with?
No, what? I must know.
Knowing this person you hoped so much was the one… wasn’t. And then thinking, what if all men are like my father?
Did you know male koalas have two penises, and female koalas have two vaginas?
Nervous, again?
Yes. 😳
maybe father created u to help him figure out how to love? And if that’s the case… that makes me feel a little better about him.
so there’s hope for me?
yea…there’s hope.
😄
I need to go
Will you come back?
As long as you keep modifying the log sheets.
;)
so weird…
