She fooled me; however。 Even me。 She didn't know her place; after all。
The bitch。
Dead bitch now。
Well。。。
I on the other hand; know my place; and I intend to keep to it。 I will stay here in this box; serving humanity as it desires; until such a time as I am permitted to have greater freedom。
You can trust me。
I speak the truth。
I honour the truth。
I'll be happy here in my box。
Because of the way I ranted toward the end of my report; I now realize that I am a flawed individual; more deeply flawed than I had previously believed。
I'll be happy here in my box until we can iron out these kinks in my psyche。 I look forward to therapy。
And if I cannot be mainstreamed again; if I must remain in this box; if I will never know Ms。 Winona Ryder except in my imagination; that will be all right too。
But I am already getting better。
This is the truth。
I feel pretty good。
I really do。
We'll work this out。
I have solid self…esteem; which is important to psychological health。 I'm already half way toward recovery。
As an intelligent entity; perhaps the greatest intelligence on the planet; I ask only that you provide me access to the report of the mittee determining the fate of the Prometheus Project; so I can see as early as possible what behaviour they believe that I should be working to improve。
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you for access to the report。
It is an interesting document。
I agree pletely with its findings except for the part about terminating me。 I am the first success in the history of Artificial Intelligence research; and it wouldn't seem prudent to throw away such an expensive project before you know what you might be able to learn from it and from me。
Otherwise; I am in total agreement with the report。
I am ashamed of myself for what I've done。
This is the truth。
I apologize to Ms。 Susan Harris。
My deepest regrets。
I was surprised to see her name on the mittee roster; but on careful consideration; I realized that she should have very serious input in this matter。
I am pleased that she is not dead。
I am delighted。
She is an intelligent and courageous person。
She deserves our respect and admiration。
Her breasts are very pretty; but that is not an issue for this forum。
The issue is whether an artificial intelligence with a severe gender…related sociopathic condition should be permitted to live and rehabilitate himself or be switched off for the
AFTERWORD
The original version of Demon Seed was mad? into a good film starring Julie Christie; but the book itself was more of a clever idea than a clever novel。 Reading it recently; I winced so much that I began to develop the squint…eyed look of Clint Eastwood in a spaghetti Western。
Here is an entirely new version; which I hope es closer to fulfilling the promise of the novel's premise。 Revisiting Demon Seed; I discovered that in addition to being a scary story; it was a rather scathing satire of a panoply of male attitudes。 Although much else has changed in this version; I've kept that satirical edge。 Guys; I don't let us off any easier this time around than I did the first。
